The earliest works of Picasso’s Blue period were triggered by the suicide of his close friend Carlos Casagemas in 1901. The melancholy that engulfed Picasso after this tragic event was further heightened by the occasional feelings of insecurity and loneliness that accompanied the young émigré during his first years in Paris and his visits to friends in Barcelona. Financially insecure and a relative unknown within the art world at this point, Picasso nevertheless did not waiver in his creativity. While in Paris, he immersed himself in Bohemian culture and intermingled with the more flamboyant characters of the demi-monde, including prostitutes, cabaret and circus performers, beggars and madmen. And on his visits to Barcelona, he reunited with his old friends from Els Quatre Gats, who considered themselves “neurotic dilettanti” and encouraged young Picasso’s moody and introspective approach to his art. The blue, absinthian haze of the pictures that he created during this time perfectly captures this creative atmosphere, and the present work is a revealing example.
