This painting called "Three Musicians" by Picasso is a very eye-catching painting. It is quite obvious that Picasso is using cubism as there are really no smooth transitions but many geometric shapes and forms to display people. The colors are warm and welcoming and your eyes are immediately drawn to the man in the middle who is playing a guitar. All three gentlemen look different and are wearing different colors and styles of clothing and yet here they are together playing music. I think what Picasso was attempting to say through his painting is that people of different backgrounds can come together with the simplest of things, in this case music. Also the fact that the painting is very asymmetrical could mean that life in itself is not perfect but we have to learn to deal with it. Music is usually something that people play for comfort, entertainment or joy. By displaying different people in an asymmetrical setting playing music, Picasso is showing that people with differences can get along, even if life is not going well.
