Avant-Garde Collage

Avant-Garde Collage: Illusion is an Art

is an unknown type belonging to Pablo Picasso. It follows one of his more prominent paintings, the, a painting depicting five female prostitutes, but their names are unknown to any that have gazed upon it. The painting, as expressed by Picasso himself, was inspired by masks that "liberate an utterly original artistic style of compelling, even savage force."

It is through this that he uses this Noble Phantasm, as a recreation of beings that he has set his sights upon with his Skill. The Noble Phantasm possesses an unknown ranking due to it heavily relying on Picasso's own knowledge of the target in question. While he could, in theory, recreate the being to utmost perfection, he would need to have seen said being's battle potential, Noble Phantasms, Class Skills, Personal Skills, personality, on the basis that the being(s) in question have these, and much more.

While Eye for Art does make this easier on Picasso to understand, it is not an infallible Skill that he could entirely rely on to recreate beings for this Noble Phantasm's purposes. Art is art, and if an artist would try to be inspired by one thing, they could end up taking it to their own ends, completely deviating from the norm. Due to all these circumstances, even if Picasso did have all the factors for a perfect recreation, due to his very personality, he may end up deviating and create his own abomination.

Because the Les Demoiselles d'Avignon only possessed five females initially, he is only able to recreate five beings at a time, where he must destroy his "paintings" if he wanted to swap them out with another being he would make. This is akin to the concept of corruption, where it turns the personality of the being into the opposite, one that is akin to that of a prostitute.
