One of the most famous painting by Pablo Picasso is the "Old Guitarist", which hangs in the galleries of the 'Art Institute of Chicago. The painting by Picasso "blue period" in which all his work was of course done in blue.
The picture is not very big, but gigantic in that it has to offer. What we have here is a picture of an old man sitting on the floor with his guitar. It 'been almost a bent on expressing Despars, but hope in musicmake up his guitar. And 'of course very bad for the clothes that just because they are tattered and torn. It sits on what looks like the ground is not a chair or bed, do not even have a pillow or a blanket or pillow to give him some support. It seems that he is on the streets outside, because if you look closely there on the wall behind his head for a beveled edge in a lighter shade of blue just above the base of the wall.
The scene is strong and makes you want to giveHelp for the poor. The white hair and shades to give up his old face and the lack of good health for his appearance. He is so thin that one wonders how long he could stand without proper nutrition. The scene is desperate and almost hopeless, the only support that the poor man on the right side of the wall behind him. The guitar is the only thing in the painting, which is not blue, and is in two shades of light green. There are guitar strings, must have certain PicassoThis demonstrates the simplicity of the composition by details such as guitar strings would take away the impact that he sought.
I want one more element, unknown to most and that is the address in painting. If you approach the piece has to stop and absorb everything you can. Find the beginning of this painting below. You will see the silhouette of a woman behind the head of the guitar, can see his face, and eyes will be very well.The outline of his body, the legs are all made. Obviously, the guitarist was a creation of Picasso's later and decided to paint the woman is, because he had other screens are available, or who simply do not like the first piece.
