In Pablo Picasso's, The Blind Man's Meal, subtle colors, varied table arrangements, and scenic man asser the bitter, taunting life of a man suffering from an overbearing disease. The use of stark, cool colors indicate a world of seclusion and loneliness. This gives a sense of a disdainful, cynical mood of the painting and the man. Based on the haphazard arrangement of the elementary, unexciting utensils, one can assume that the man is lost. He seems to be lost in his own secluded yet elevated world which is not governed by the normal forces of nature. The man himself portrays a facial expression that is both foreboding and perplexed. Perhaps the scenic world which he has been unjustly trapped within burden him with an uneasy sorrow. He seems to be disheartened by the fact that his actual senses provide him with a glimpse into reality, a reality which he has lost forever. The suffering man must cope with the devious knowledge of the world in which he cannot experience completely.
