Elements
in The Old Guitarist were carefully chosen to generate a reaction from the
spectator. For example, the monochromatic color scheme creates flat,
two-dimensional forms that dissociate the guitarist from time and place. In
addition, the overall muted blue palette creates a general tone of melancholy
and accentuates the tragic and sorrowful theme. The sole use of oil on panel
causes a darker and more theatrical mood. Oil tends to blend the colors
together without diminishing brightness, creating an even more cohesive
dramatic composition.
