Pablo picasso blue period

Tried to create a painting using Prismacolor pencils. I choose a painting by Pablo Picasso from his blue period.

Art Post Gallery on Instagram: "Femme aux Bras Croisés (Woman with Folded Arms), c. 1901-02 Pablo Picasso, Blue Period. The subject of the painting is unknown, but she is considered to be an inmate of the Saint-Lazare hospital-prison in Paris. The painting is listed as one of the most expensive paintings after it achieved a price of $55 million at Christie's auction on 8 November 2000. #picasso #pablopicasso #spanishart #art #cubism #portrait #woman #with #folded #arms #museum #arthistory…

Did you know that Pablo Picasso was colorblind? He only found out about his inability to see colors few months before he died. He actually thought that the paintings he made during his blue period were yellow and the ones he made during his pink period were green. What day is it today again? April 1st. That's right. :) "The Blind Man's Meal" is part of the Met Museum's collection.

Picasso, La Celestina (detail)

Este cuadro de Pablo Picasso tiene un formato vertical y está formado por colores fríos. En la imagen podemos ver a una mujer desnuda de color azul, el fondo también es azul. También podemos remarcar que hay alguna zona negra pero claramente predomina el azul. El peso visual se encuentra sobre la mujer ya que el contorno de su silueta es negro y atrae la mirada.

Picasso's blue period

I mentioned Picasso's blue period yesterday when I talked about Isidre Nonell's paintings of gypsy women. Here are some of Picasso's paintings of women from that period. The dark outlines, the bent over figures, the angles from which they are painted, the expressions on their faces, the types of women chosen as models... all of this they have in common. #pablopicasso #blueperiod #femaleportrait #elsquatregats #picassoinbarcelona #picassoblueperiod
