The Blue Period lasted from 1901- 1904. Pablo’s inspiration for the entire period was the death of his good friend, Casagemas. Casagemas and Picasso met when he lived in Barcelona. The friends moved to Paris together and stayed there for a short while. Casagemes went back to Spain with Pablo after he had a failed love affair. While in Spain, Casagemas quickly became bored and decided to go back to Paris to find his ex-lover. Casagemes went back, pulled a gun on his ex-lover, but he couldn’t shoot her so he turned the gun and shot himself.

During this time, Picasso was also very poor and couldn’t sell his paintings, so he painted the misery of the other poor around him. This is the time when Picasso’s depression started and it didn’t really end until the end of the Cubism
