Moody Abstract Interior Design

While Picasso did some brightly-colored pieces, he was also known to explore darker themes. Picasso’s work tended to reflect the mood of the world around him. During the Blue Period, his work was much more melancholy due to the recent death of a close friend. He had also recently moved to Paris and not yet found his footing in his new home. The Guitarist is the epitome of his most moving work during this defining period. Hang a piece of artwork from Picasso’s Blue Period if you’re looking for something moody and unexpected. Any modern interior would benefit from one of these layered, emotionally driven pieces.

A Softer Side to Picasso’s Abstract Paintings

After the Blue Period, Picasso moved into what is known as the Rose Period. In contrast to the cooler-toned Blue Period, the Rose period was defined by warmer, earthy tones. His color palette from 1904-1906 included vibrant splashes of orange and pink. By this time, he had settled into the bohemian neighborhood of Montmartre, where he met several other iconic artists. Our printed version of his Maternity piece is a stunning tribute to the softness of motherhood. If you’re in love with the idea of abstract interior design, but you’re looking for a gentler approach, try a print from Picasso’s Rose Period.

Geometric Picasso Abstract Art Ideas

Between 1909 and 1912 Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque simultaneously shaped the artistic style of Cubism. While Braque tended to paint more recognizable subjects, Picasso took a more abstract stance on cubist art. He used monochromatic color schemes that included colors like ochre, grey, taupe, and pale blue. The subjects in his paintings were more conceptual and harder to define. The beauty of Picasso’s cubism is that it will instantly elevate your interior, while still blending with your current decor. Plus, an abstract Picasso will act as a stunning conversation piece.
