A painting from Picasso’s ‘Blue period’, ‘The Old Guitarist’ is an art beauty to say the least.
It shows an old man sitting on the ground, playing a guitar, and his body is thin, almost skeleton-like, and his head seems to be bowed in sadness, just like his wrinkled and weak face. And as blue is often associated with feelings of sorrow, the background and character covered in shades of blue conveys the feeling pretty well.
And today, with modern inventions, art experts have found out that beneath ‘The Old Guitarist’, there is another painting hidden which means Picasso had painted over it.
