The painting of La Vie was painted in Barcelona. La Vie remains one of the key works in the prodigious out put of paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, and pottery of his dominate visual artist of the twentieth century.
La Vie is set in an artist studio, containing vague suggestions of cloistered architecture. A nude woman clings to the male figure, dressed in only a white cloth, which points toward the heavily clothed woman holding a sleeping baby. Between these two groups there are two canvases, stacked one on top of the other, in the beginning stages of development and only outlined. In the upper one two nudes cling and look out hopelessly; in the one below, the figure rests its head on drawn-up knees. He almost looks as if he is crying.
One can see that this painting is practical. Picasso used soft definitive lines, especially in the woman's cloak or wrap. It seems to one that the two nudes (the woman and the man pointing at the baby) are somewhat jealous of the woman with the baby. One can say the figures in the paintings may feel as if they are trapped, and the woman with the baby is free. The lines used in La Vie are soft flowing lines not heavy. The woman with the baby the strokes of the lines are darker and more defined especially her dark blue wrap. The contrast of light and shadow is show in the cloak of this woman. .
The painting is clearly allegorical, as well as unusually complex and obscure for Picasso's early works. Scholars have not yet reached a consensus concerning the narrative, which has frequently been discussed in print but never explained by the artist (Online Picasso).
Picasso's painting projects a pessimistic outlook, expressed not only in the symbolism of the figures but also in its cold, blue tones. During his Blue Period, he often dealt with themes of misery and human poverty, and here his subject may allude to the responsibilities of everyday life, the incompatibility of sexual love, and the differences of artistic creativity.
