Man in blue 1902

"Man in Blue" is a 1902 oil painting by Pablo Picasso, a prominent figure of the early 20th century. It is a powerful example of Picasso's Blue Period, characterized by melancholic blue tones, somber themes, and depictions of poverty and social injustice. This painting, currently located at the Musée Picasso in Paris, depicts a seated man with a pensive expression, emphasizing the solitude and despair prevalent in his work during this period. The striking use of blue in the background and the man's clothing creates a melancholic atmosphere, making this piece an important representation of the Blue Period.
