Picasso's Techniques: Expressionism Through Color and Form

In "The Absinthe Drinker," Picasso's signature Blue Period style dominates, with its somber palette of blues and greens.

The solitary figure, lost in contemplation over a glass of absinthe, becomes a universal symbol of alienation and despair. The absinthe, a potent alcoholic beverage, alludes to the character's attempt to escape reality. Picasso's portrayal transcends the individual, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences of loneliness and the search for meaning in life.
