Can you find the cubist dog? |
Above This is one of a series of cubist-themed puzzles that were published in the
San Francisco Sunday Call during 1913. This network of lines was published on the entertainment page on May 26, with a challenge to the readers to "find the cubidog" and, more specifically, to "find a cubidachshund" by filling in a certain number of shapes. The solution (posted below) was revealed the following Sunday. This is an
embedded figure puzzle, of course, a variant of
camouflage. But this example predates World War I, and "camouflage" was not yet an English word. Instead, this is a spin-off from the famous
Armory Show which opened in New York in early 1913. It was the American public's first introduction to Cubism.
