From 1901 to 1904 Picasso created his “blue period” arts. He called it the blue period because he used the color blue for most of his paintings. He was also called the “blue period” because he was sad over the death of his best friend Carlos Casagemas. In that period he painted such as “Evocation”, “Burial of Casagemas”, “Life” and “Poor people by the sea”. Then he began the “pink period”, in which he painted more women and related to women. After the "pink period", he created another period of his artistic career, called "African influenced".”.
