This is The Old Guitarist by Pablo Picasso. Picasso went through what is popularly known as his Blue Period. Throughout this time, he only painted in hues of blue, occasionally contrasted with a warmer color. It's believed that he entered this period of monochromatic painting after a close friend of his committed suicide. I enjoy these painting for their graphic qualities. I often catch myself designing high contrast images with few colors, which I believe to be influenced by his work.
