I was searching about Blue Period the one from the manga and ended up stumbling up to this video and I absolutely did not regret it. It will be nice too see your review about a manga called Blue period if you're interested;))

A close friend attempting a horrific murder and then publicly committing suicide would definitely send someone into a "blue period". I had always assumed before that the name referred exclusively to the color, not knowing there was an inciting event itself that was so terrible and sad.

I clicked on this because I realized this era of Picasso's work is probably what influenced an anime/manga called Blue Period. It didn't click with me at first but it should have! The way Picasso transforms emotionally and artistically shows up a lot in the story of Yatora, the main character of the anime/manga. He discovers his love for art, and it helps him process the loneliness he felt-- His first painting is all in blue hues! Funniest part is how Yatora criticizes Picasso's work on the first episode.

one could argue it's quite an aggressive and misogynistic act to paint the woman his friend nearly killed (and for what - refusing his hand in marriage) in the embrace of her very attacker. she clearly did not love or want to be associated with his friend in any way and yet picasso still painted her with her attacker in a loving embrace, which of course is a fantasy. i gather he prioritized his feelings for his friend over the heinous act his friend committed. seems to be in line with picasso's view and treatment of women in general.

Pablo Picasso's progression in art kinda looks like when an artist gets dementia, and keeps trying to do art over time.

"The Blue Period" - wow, someone really dug deep for that name! :)

I was lucky enough to see some of the blue period art work in 2020 right before covid, it was soo powerful it made our guide weep infront of 40 teens and I can see why, it’s incredibly moving, raw.

Picasso was like "You not loving my friend back led him to his death, and for that..i will immortalize you with paintings where you and him are lovey dovey"

Very enjoyable as always. You talking about the circumstances surrounding the artist's life makes me think about what was going on in the lives of much earlier artists when they created their works, even if they were generally much less personal.

Very well done. I was particularly impressed by the recognition of the subtlety of his doomed friend's hand gesture and it's translation. Bravo

Definitely, "The blue room" is my favorite painting par excellence ✨

I just thought of the blue period the other day and i had an extreme urge to study it further Thanks!

This is fantastic. I’ve been keeping up with your channel for a while now and I can’t wait for you to grow and get the recognition you deserve. The editing, voice over, everything. Splendid!

That is great, massive thank you from Moscow. I'm writing an essay about Picasso's Blue period in university and you really helped me.

"Sal couldn't paint a self-portrait fast enough, making him Tonight's Big Loser."

As an artist I fall in love with color. Over and over, every color….I understand his Blue period.

I had the opportunity of Curating Picasso’s Blue Period to Summer School Programs and a few Case Western Reserve Art Major’s while interning at The Cleveland Museum of Arts. This was a 10/10 experience. I never knew the severity of Depression until I experienced it myself personally. When I look back on the experience of Curating Picasso’s Blue Period the Summer of 2009, I now relate to it so delicately and personally. I now vividly remember the images so profound and in 3D almost. Hearing that Pablo went through a period of Depression for 7 years is so heartbreaking. His Mental Health being illustrated in his work is so personal, yet beautiful. I appreciate this body of work in abundance now. It truly reflects what I personally went through. Anyone battling depression, please remember to seek help of some form and method. You are not alone and after all the rain, the Sun comes out again! :)

Picasso in his self portrait reminds me of Pete Davidson, and I can't unsee it.

Aww, that hand gesture interpretation is heart breaking. Thank you for the wonderful videos always!

Brilliantly done! I'm quite enchanted by "La Vie" upon knowing the symbolism. I'm excited to study the rest of his Blue period with some insight. Thanks!

This is so beautiful. Beautiful explanation. Thank you so much for introducing me to the intricate genius of his work

What a beautiful walk through the Blue Period, learned yet unpretentious, sensitive and a reminder that art is created by human beings. This was my first look at this channel but I subscribed immediately. Bravo and thank you.

Love Picasso your Blue period was so informative and easy to watch Thank you Carolyn

Thanks for sharing. Loved the composition analysis and background stories.

Back to discussing the stylistic merit of Picasso's 'Blue Period'. All of the subjects in this period are complex and deeply moving, they seem to resonate deeply with those of us whom has lost a loved one. Your exegesis on the 'Old Man With Guitar', and 'The Life' are brilliant..I love your clever reference to Casagemas's hand gesture as 'noli me tangere'. Picasso's 'Blue Period' is simply my favorte of his many artistic incarnations.

Well done. Thank you for sharing this .

These are fabulous love his artwork 🙌

This is so good! Keep up!

I love the blue period, it touches me in my heart ❤️

"What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad? Never known who he was or the man he'd become There would be no blue period" Beautiful - Lana Del Rey

Thanks for sharing your channel is appreciated

It was quite interesting, i lovet it , thank you sooo much for this beautiful expression

Loved it

We all have a blue period i really appreciate this cause it can be interpreted in so many ways but out of all the ways u interpret it looking at this blue art makes you feel something strong in the matter.

Excelent!

Brilliant analysis, thanks.

Amazing essay!

Amazing work as always!

Ah blue period is not just seen on tv ads for pads, I knew it was real.

Thanks!

Thank you! This was amazing.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video!

thnx men rly lyked ur vidio eye am big fan

That's a sad story, but that's inresting.

i am becoming addicted to this channel.

I'd like to read more about his art development in the blue period, what articles support all of these theories?

thank you.

This stuff is great

so nice.

this video was really useful not only for understanding a bit more about Picasso but it also helped me with interpreting a manga about panting that I am reading called blue period (the manga in question is honestly one of the best I've ever read I highly recommend it)

hay quá Phúc ơi, nổi cả da gà luôn nè, thấm vào từng mạch máu

Thank you

❤ thanks so much for the explanation. I was wondering why this color- sad as it was for Picasso.

Picasso is art history on his own

This is my favourite Picasso period. So many emotions and meanings within those blue paints. Although it has a sad background, I still prefer it over the other periods (not fond of the playful child-like artworks of Picasso's later life). My favourite is the Blue Room.

I enjoy this style of Picasso much more than the later which he is so famous for.

u rock! thank u 🤠🪨💥

when i first saw the title i thought u were fr talking about your period blood being blue and i giggled 😭

i have the lovers print in my room. Picassos blue period is my favorite.

One of my favourite videos! I love it

My favourite artist

Great video. I see mother Mary standing there with the Christ child.

so basically you're telling me Picasso did vent art???

An artists style is simply what type of art they choose to create for awhile and it can change. It doesn't just happen for everyone either. Picasso is known for his memorable cubism but he also had his famous blue period where his friends death and his own depression inspired him to create arts in monochromatic blue tones with a slightly more realistic look. This was before he even started painting cubism. Life ebbs and flows changing us as people and in turn the art we make. Sometimes it's simply whatever we were into at the time

For me the last painting could be images of what Cassegama’s life could have been… it’s possibilities. He is shown as an infant; then he is shown in the bloom of the love he so wanted; then the two paintings are what he could never have because he was dead - the top, a long married couple caring for each other; and the bottom, him as an old man whose love has since died. I think this is a painting of his friend had he had the life he had wanted.

Great video. Fascinating time in Picasso's life. I love the interpretation of Casagemas' hand in La Vie

I heard somewhere that he painted a lot in blue since it was readily available

i read the title and assumed picasso ovulated like royalty by some terrible misfortune.

Ubju. Ja inteligent. Ne nada vrat ja ne sidel.

Beautiful. I loved it!

১৯৮৬ সালের ২৬ এপ্রিল আমার জন্ম। ২০১২ সালের ডিসেম্বরের ১২ তারিখে আমার প্রথম প্রেমিকা মারা যায়।সে আমাকে একটি Ma Jolie painting উপহার দিয়েছিল মৃত‍‍্যুর পূর্বের দিন।আমার ' দ্বান্দ্বিক বিবর্তন ' গ্রন্থটি লেখা শেষ হয়েছিল ২০১০ সালে।আকাশ সংস্কৃতির যুগেও অনেক সুন্দরী ললনার ভিড়ে তাকে ভুলে যাওয়াটা মুশকিল।সেসময় আমার দিনগুলো কাটছিল লিটলম‍্যাগ, ম‍্যাগাজিন, পত্রিকা আর বিখ‍্যাতদের মূল‍্যবান পেইন্টিংগুলো দেখে দেখে।এটাও একটা অভাবনীয় ঘটনা যে, পাবলো পিকাসো আমার প্রিয় চিত্রশিল্পী।তাও একদম কিশোর বয়স থেকেই।বন্ধুদের সাথে সেসময়টায় আলোচনা হতো কেট উইন্সলেটকে নিয়ে।যেমন আমি অবাক হতাম তেমনি অনেক স্বপ্নও দেখতাম।

awesome video, thank you for your work!!!

i clicked on this video and it's at exactly 9,000 views. 😌

1 из причин почему я учу английский язык! надеюсь то что скоро смогу понимать такие интересные видео

maybe you can do a video on the rose period!

its really interesting that this is 110 years old, and I'm going through that blue period. I've never felt so intense with the colour and the deep meaning behind it, like mostly everyone comments about the manga that I stumble across lead to this video

I like that one.

Evolving .Growing pains. Finding expression through Van Goh and El Greco.

Hay mas artistas que han pasado por este periodo azul ?

Came across this on my home page and it was causing the blue light filter to turn off???? I scrolled around trying to recreate the "glitch" with other video thumbnails but it didn't work, it only worked on this one. Strange...

y yo vieniendo por el anime de blue period aaaaaa QUE BUEN ANIMEEEE

It’s 5am on a Wednesday school morning why am I still up

Arguable

💙💙💙

I always enjoy and appreciate learning about art history but I genuinely feel sick at how picasso glorified his dead friend

came here because of the manga called blue period :) really good video !!!

Just want to ask what do you think about Picasso's relation with women , do you think we should divide the men ( Pablo Diego Jose ...) from the artist ( Picasso ) ?

This has to be said The thumbnail looks like the weekend

Picasso painted in blue during this time because he was struggling economically and that's the only medium he could get. It was used for the working class uniforms.

Picasso had a excellent marchand, just it!!!!

this channel is infornative I'm an artist

PERIOD 💅

This may be a stretch but, how expensive was color paint back then ? Since you mentioned that Picasso was struggling with money and his paintings where his only form of income, maybe he wanted to paint with other colors but couldn’t since he had no money, sinking more into the blue period thus making poverty one of his themes in the blue period. Also how you mentioned Van Gogh. Maybe this is unrelated but, wasn’t Van Gogh also struggling mentally but he was painting using vibrant colors on his paintings, again I have no knowledge about art or it’s process and maybe Picasso only used blue because it reflected his state of mind.

Hi there, I have a question. Is “women with a lock of hair” Picasso’s blue period work. I either have a copy or a original with me, it’s been there at my home since I could vaguely see things. How can I verify if it’s original or a copy. The paper, the wax all looks very real. Please help

i found a gem

the manga was banging too

Ahora lo entiendo todo Picasso, ahora entiendo tu dolor.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This painting is a premonition of Saul from the hit tv show impractical jokers
