The Old Guitarist
I was looking through my World Book Enciclopedia DVD doing some research for school when i came across this painting. The Old Guitarist by Pablo Piccasso. It made me realize the huge role that color plays on emotions when looking at a painting. Here, the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso uses blues to create contrasting moods. Picasso evokes a sense of sadness and loneliness in the painting. It makes you feel extremely sad for the old and lonely man.
Anyway, those are my thoughts. What do you guys think?

His sadness during this period was intensified by the suicide of a young friend. This became known as his “Blue Period” (1901-1904), one of two very prolific periods that were preambles to “Cubism”.
I feel sorry for this man. While looking at this painting, it makes me feel cold and blue. It like grabs your heart because of the way he portrays the painting.

Great Picture, the colors are incredible and they really do emphasize the mood. The hues of blue, gray and black, make the already hunched over somber faced guitarist look "sad".
