Pablo Picasso The Picasso’s Blue Period: Picasso began to produce works that were SUFFUSED in blue. Blue is effective in conveying a SOMBRE tone. The psychological trigger for these depressing paintings was the suicide of Picasso's friend Casagemas. You should know that Picasso was still in his late teens (!), away from home for the first time, and living in very poor conditions.
