We begin with Picasso’s Blue Period that is on exhibit at Toronto’s AGO!
Concentrating on the years 1901-1904, Picasso’s early years were fraught with poverty, tragedy, and emotional frailty—and it was these struggles that he channelled into his first pioneering body of work, known as his Blue Period. Then a fledgling painter in his late teens and early twenties, he moved back and forth between the cities of Paris and Barcelona. His spellbinding works to this day force audiences to grapple with uncomfortable issues such as poverty, labor unrest, gender inequality and war.

Tunaanza na Kipindi cha Bluu cha Picasso ambacho kimeonyeshwa katika Jumba la Makumbusho la Toronto! Picasso aliishi miaka ya 1901-1904 wakati ambapo maisha yake yalikuwa na matatizo ya kihisia na ya kihisia, na hivyo akaanza kazi yake ya kwanza ya upainia, inayojulikana kama Blue Period. Alipokuwa mchoraji mchanga katika miaka yake ya mwisho ya ujana na mapema ya ishirini, alihamia na kurudi kati ya miji ya Paris na Barcelona. Kazi zake za kuvutia hadi leo zinalazimisha watazamaji kushughulika na masuala yasiyo ya kawaida kama vile umaskini, machafuko ya kazi, usawa wa kijinsia na vita.
