Melancholy: Issue 2. Color of Thought.

"The Old Guitarist" - 1903, Pablo Picasso

This is the sophomore issue of "Color of Thought". This issue is devoted to the shade of blue that I call "melancholy". I chose the above picture because the guitarist seems enveloped in sadness. No matter what sort of background Picasso could have painted, it would be unable to draw the viewer's attention away from the guitarist, because the entire universe seems unimportant to this old man, while he is isolated in his own private sadness. I'm sure we've all felt similarly at times. All work fitting the "melancholy" theme will be designated with a

. Hope you enjoy the issue.
