Picasso's cubist pictures fall into two categories: for the first category - his analytic cubist paintings - where the forms and objects were broken up into fragments looking like shards of glass - he used traditional materials - oil paints on canvas, or occasionally on board.

For the second type, synthetic cubism, where the pictures was built up from objects and figures seen from different angles at the same time, he introduced -( for the first time in the history of painting-) ready-made objects, old theatre tickets, string, bits of paper, into his pictures, also creating trompe d-oeil effects. For example, stencilled words on a white background gave the appearance of a sheet of newspaper.

One of his most famous paintings "Still life with Chair Caning" 1912, was in fact his very first attempt at this way of working. In this case, he glued on to his canvas, printed fabric to imitate the appearance of chair caning. And, also used rope around this picture instead of a traditional frame.

(I should note here, that Picasso's colleague Braque was also an innovator of collage painting)
