    Small oil painting on canvas, is this what is considered Cubism? Signed Morales, was wondering if anyone might know anything about this artist. It looks like the one in green is holding a flute, but what is the guy in pink holding? Measures 8" X 10". Thanks

    This looks airbrushed,wich makes me think 70s-80s. I guess you COULD call it cubist.

    It may be that this painting exists as it does because cubism happened, but this is not cubism.

    I don't think it's a tourist souvenir; it's more of a decorator piece. There was a fad for pastel versions of "southwestern" decor that had little to do with the Southwest. This is in the same ballpark.

    The hats look like those white hats from the Peruvian Andes, worn by both men and women.
