The Melancholic Blues of Pablo Picasso’s The Old Guitarist The painting depicts an old man washed in an unearthly lunar light. The walls and the atmosphere also reflect the sadness of the man and create a horrific display of the life of lower class individuals. whereas the effect is further illuminated by the blindness of the old man (hence the painting got reputed as The Blind Guitarist). The piteous condition of the old guitarist is depicted through the torn clothes, pale blue skin, weak body, etc. The scene immediately becomes an archetype for those who beg on the streets to make a living.

The old man is skin with bones visible, but he still latches on to the guitar to seek some redemption for his dire situation. The melancholic expressions were mainly because of the demise of Casagemas, as confessed by Picasso and the painting reflects the predicament of people who seek alms to survive. The use of the shade blue is evident in the painting and the monochromatic palette produces a state of pain and hopelessness. The Blue Period lasted from 1901 to 1904 and The Old Guitarist was produced in the year 1903. The painting was done during the “Blue Period”, which was a painful reaction to the death of his friend – Casagemas.
