20 in. x 24 in. Oil painting on canvas. Boy with Pipe by Pablo Picasso. Painted in his early years, boy with a pipe was done during Picasso's Rose Period, after he settled in the Montmartre area of Paris. The pipe, a symbol commonly used during the time period as a symbol of intellectual reflection gains significant interpretation. It appears as if it was held from the outside of the painting, rather from the inside - suggesting a fusion of realities, where the boy is a reflection of Picasso himself. The painting, as a hole, conveys the innocence and experience conflict - where street life for the youth is difficult and harsh. Frame. Description: La Scala Frame. Color: Blue/Red.
