Piccasso
1901, before moving to Madrid Pablo Picasso was staying in Málaga with his friend Casagemas at his family’s house. He outraged his family while staying there by staying out late, not dressing properly, visiting brothels, and ignoring his family members that the two were not allowed to stay with the family. Pablo Picasso’s friend Carlos Casagemas passed away after committing suicide in front of friends at the Café de l'Hippodrome because of the failure with his girlfriend Germaine. Picasso finds out about the death of his friend while in Madrid. During his time in Madrid, Picasso paints the people that surround him while sitting on the street corners. Picasso starts using pastels and paints to depict the different classes of the people. When he would use the harlequins and the poorest class of society, as models he mostly used blacks and whites to portray the harshness of their lives. When he would paint the high-class people, he would use softer tones and seductive colors. At this point of his life, he was just starting to reach his blue period (pre-blue period). Picasso moved back to Paris and that’s where he went into his blue period. It was after th
In October, his uncle Salvador (one of the family members he stayed with previously) paid him to get out of the draft. In 1901, when Picasso and Casagemas stayed with his family for that short time Picasso was in hopes of obtaining 1200 pesetas from his uncle for that exact purpose. His uncle didn’t want Picasso to have the money after his performance when he came the first time but Doña Maria’s convinced him to give him the money. After receiving money for one of his paintings, Picasso moved back to Barcelona. He stared visiting the brothels again, but this time he visited them with his room mate de Soto, who he often drew pictures of. Picasso started having one of his best periods ever. One of his most famous paintings of this period was La Vie. This painting contains a couple crouching in a far corner holding each other, a loving mother with her baby, a couple embracing love, and a lonely man who is all by himself. This was another painting about his friend Casagemas. Picasso’s only response about the painting was: The painting was sold on June 4, 1902 to M. Jean Saint-Gaudens. Saint-Gaudens was also a well-known artist. The painting he acquired was a painting that could have built a good reputation for any aspiring artist. By 1902, he breaks his contract with Mañach and moves back to Barcelona. In his studio, Picasso decides he wants to live an entirely blue life. For him, as a painter, his paintings were his life, so when he was painting everything in blue. Each shade of blue
