Stock Photo: Pablo Picasso And Family Of Saltimbanques
ID 309283310 © Mirosk | Megapixl.com
After exiting his Blue Period, Pablo Picasso entered his Rose Period. A notable thematic change was the move to saltimbanques or harlequins – transient circus performers. He portrayed them in daily life, with their families, as opposed to performing. In many of the etchings and paintings, the characters are very still, which is at odds with their characterization as acrobats. Picasso felt a certain kinship with them as he “was transient during the first years in Paris while striving for recognition.” After he got his feet under him and moved into the Montmartre neighborhood, Picasso and friends would frequently attend the Cirque Medrano. His fascination with circus performers continued.
