And yet, despite the isolation, the guitarist (artist) depends on the rest of society for survival. Therefore, music, or art, becomes a burden and an alienating force that isolates artists from the world. Some art historians believe this painting expresses the solitary life of an artist and the natural struggles that come with the career.

This blind and poor subject depends on his guitar and the small income he can earn from his music for survival. The guitar comes to represent the guitarist’s world and only hope for survival. The large, brown guitar is the only significant shift in color found in the painting its dull brown, prominent against the blue background, becomes the center and focus. Details are eliminated and scale is manipulated to create elongated and elegant proportions while intensifying the silent contemplation of the guitarist and a sense of spirituality. Furthermore, the guitarist, although muscular, shows little sign of life and appears to be close to death, implying little comfort in the world and accentuating the misery of his situation. Oil tends to blend the colors together without diminishing brightness, creating an even more cohesive dramatic composition. The sole use of oil on panel causes a darker and more theatrical mood. In addition, the overall muted blue palette creates a general tone of melancholy and accentuates the tragic and sorrowful theme. For example, the monochromatic color scheme creates flat, two-dimensional forms that dissociate the guitarist from time and place.

This work was created in Madrid, and the distorted style (note that the upper torso of the guitarist seems to be declining, while the bottom half appears to be sitting cross-legged) is reminiscent of the works of El Greco.Įlements in The Old Guitarist were carefully chosen to generate a reaction from the spectator. He too knew what it was like to be impoverished, having been nearly penniless during all of 1902. During this time, the artist was sympathetic to the plight of the downtrodden and painted many canvases depicting the miseries of the poor, the ill, and those cast out of society.
