Pablo Picasso
Oil on Canvas
This self portrait shows that Picasso is in artist's clothing and with a paint palette. Picasso's (sponsor) gertrude stein would supply him with the money to live so he did not have to work, he could just focus on creativity.
Picasso used a lot of blues and this is called his blue period becuase he did not have enough money to do what he loved.
In all of his self portraits, his eyes are very wide open.

Closer up: Trees that are dead and rotting with another that has a little life in it.
Mountains with fog coming off of them-can see the trees on the closer mountains, can't on the mountains further away and than the mountains that are the furthest away are blue in color-atmosphere.
The artist uses dark coloring in the trees and mountains and than lighter colors in the sky- the sun is rising.
This painting is a landscape becuase we are looking at trees and mountains. There is more ground coverage than sky, no people in the painting and it is not of an inatimate object.

This painting is a fresco, however it was painted with a pigment and a binder, giving it a tempera feel. This made the painting self destruct eary on. There was a restoration process which took 20-24 years to complete.
It is now heald in a climate controlled room, and when peopl;e go to see it, they ahve to become accustom to the new climate in order to see it, but only for a short period of time.
