Picasso traveled to Horta de Ebro in his native Spain, and here produced a series of landscapes that adopted this newly emerging style. His Houses on the Hill provides a good example of this. Here Picasso has turned this view of a group of houses perched at the top of a hill into an agglomeration of geometrical forms, with all detailing such as windows, removed. The topography of the scene has also been freely rearranged to emphasize further that this landscape has been produced from many distinct viewpoints.
