1901 · Blue Period
The Montmartre tenement. Cold blue gloom. Casagemas's death as the thematic anchor.
The garret studio at 13 rue Ravignan, freezing, communal water tap on the landing. Picasso is nineteen. Casagemas has just shot himself in a Montmartre café. The Blue Period is grief made into a palette.
