The Old Guitarist by Pablo Picasso, painted in 1903, displays an old man in tattered clothes on the streets of Barcelona. It is an early example of Picasso’s work and was painted during his “blue period,” which was characterized by a prevailing blue color in his paintings. This painting was created during a depressive time in Picasso’s life. (The Old Guitarist, Wikipedia)
Picasso in this painting was influenced by Post-impressionism, the emphasis on the subjective and geometric forms, and Symbolism, a rejection of realism and the expression of absolute truths through indirect means.The painting has a blue hue that created a sense of depression and the man’s unhealthy appearance adds to this morbid scenery. The tattered clothes give the viewer a sense of the poverty of this man who is reduced to beggary, and naturally this beggar has a guitar to keep him company. This painting focuses on the loneliness of the beggar and the music that keeps him company, though it is also the force that separates him from others. The background is barren and dark adding to the sense of loneliness. (The Old Guitarist, Wikipedia)
