The Old Guitarist, late 1903–early 1904
Blue Period
bent and sightless man holds his large, round guitar close to him; its brown body is the painting’s only shift in color. The elongated, angular figure of the blind musician relates to Picasso’s interest in the history of Spanish art and, in particular, the great sixteenth-century artist El Greco

On the back of the painting, concealed beneath heavy overpainting in blue and yellow, is a woman’s head, probably a fragment of a work which did not satisfy the artist.

The Pan Pipes,
1923 by Pablo Picasso
Classical Period
Male figures appear to have been carved like Classical Homeric statues from the hunks of stone behind them and then imbued with life, possibly by the music from the magical pan pipes. The thin black lines around their frame and shadowing helps lift them off the picture surface to complete the sense of chiselled separation.
