The Rose Period

In 1905-6, Picasso's palette began to lighten considerably, bringing in a distinctive beige or "rose" tone. The subject matter also is less depressing. Here are the first appearances by the circus performers and clowns that will populate Picasso's paintings at various stages through the rest of his long career.

After he moved to Paris he met Fernande Oliver who influenced the mood of his work from dark and gloomy blues to light and happy reds and pinks which led this period in time to be called the Rose Period. At this time he painted many pictures of a circus that he visited often during his stay in Paris

The prolific catalogue of work produced by Picasso during his lifetime is usually placed into overlapping phases known as periods, each with an individual style and technique. The universally popular Blue Period is followed by Picasso?s Rose Period, which lasts from 1905 to 1906

A light palette dominated with pinks and flesh coloured hues characterizes this phase of artistic creativity. The tone of Picasso's work during the Rose Period has a more delicate nature and greater lyricism than it's sombre predecessor. The subject matter is often drawn from circus life including a multitude of images of clowns, traditional saltimbanques and harlequins. Picasso drew inspiration for this body of work from performances of the Cirque M?rano, a circus that the artist attended frequently near his residence and studio in Montmartre.

At this time Picasso?s colourful Parisian studio attracted the major figures of the avant-garde scene, including Matisse, Braque, Apollinaire, and Gertrude Stein. This environment encouraged the depiction of social outsiders and their experiences of alienation from conventional society, which became a common thread running through the work produced by Picasso in the Rose Period.
During 1905 Picasso began painting fleshier, more robust figures, a style that caught the interest of writer Gertrude Stein, and her brother Leo. The two went on to become the most important patrons of Picasso in his artistic endeavours. The prolific painter had already produced numerous engravings of great power and began his impressive work in sculpture during the years of the Blue and Rose Periods.

Fine examples from the Rose period include
Woman in a Chemise(1904-05), Acrobat and Young Harlequin. 1905, Harlequin Family (1905), Harlequin's Family With an Ape (1905), La Famille de Saltimbanques(1905), and La Toilette(1906).
