Works of Art I know

By: Pablo Picasso

Title: Woman with Crossed Arms

Country: Spain

My First Impressions: When I first saw this painting by Picasso I thought that the woman looks very sad and this is made more evident because the blue is a very sad color. The woman also looks cold another effect of the blue. She seems very still more so than in other paintings because she has no motion and nothing looks like it has moved. 

What I Learned: I have learned that this painting was one done in Picasso's blue period a time when he was probably very depressed because a friend of his had committed suicide.
