Spanish painter, School: Cubism, Surrealism 

Description

This is the most enigmatic painting of Picasso. In front of us there is an elderly old man, almost next to death, deppressed disgusted by life, melancholic who plays his guitar along the street of a vibrant Barcelona. He takes life only a few musical notes which envelop him toward a sensorial journey toward a new worlds.
