The Blind man's meal

Pablo Picasso's painting, Analysis

The blind man gently reaches for his drink with one hand, while he is quietly grasping a loaf of bread that highlights his peaceful nature and his heightened senses. The blind man sits casually in a dark room by himself relaxing as he consumes his meal. The dark colors used in the painting portray how the man views the world as just a shadow of darkness. He touches his dinning wear delicately to establish what it is emphasizing his ability to identify objects by touch. The fact that the man sits alone represents the peace and serenity that he lives his life in. The blind man is calmed and relaxed posture reveals that he has embraced the dark world he lives in and strives to make the best of of it.
