this is a 1903 painting (oil on panel) by pablo picasso called "the old guitarist." i first saw this from my new roomate khia. i love the painting. it seems to carry this certain sadness / feeling of isolation. well, i found out that it is really what picasso is trying to depict here through the use of "the color of melancholy" - which is blue.

i am not really an art person. but this painting just grabbed my attention the first time i saw it so i find it worth sharing. :)
