Art & Culture The Blue Period of Picasso
Pablo Picasso's Blue Period (1901-1904) was characterized by somber paintings in shades of blue and blue-green. This artistic phase was triggered by the suicide of his close friend Carlos Casagemas. During this time, Picasso was poor, cold, and depressed, themes that clearly influenced his melancholic artwork featuring beggars, prostitutes, and outcasts.
