Pablo Picasso – The blue Period


Le Gourmet, 1901


Self Potrait, 1903


The Tragedy, 1903


La vie Life, 1903


The Old Guitarist, 1903


La Celestina, 1904

Shortly after moving to Paris from Barcelona, Picasso began to produce works that were suffused in blue. This particular pigment is effective in conveying a sombre tone. The psychological trigger for these depressing paintings was the suicide of Picasso’s friend Casagemas. The Blue Period work is quite sentimental, but we must keep in mind that Picasso was still in his late teens, away from home for the first time, and living in very poor conditions.”
