The Actor
by Pablo Picasso
Picasso painted The Actor over another painting, because he could not afford new canvases at the time. He created the painting over the winter of 1904-1905, at the age of 23. This was during the artist's Rose Period, when he changed his painting style from the downbeat tones of his Blue Period to warmer and more romantic hues. The painting currently resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It was donated to the museum in 1952 by automobile heiress Thelma Chrysler Foy, daughter of Walter Chrysler, the founder of the Chrysler automobile company. Experts estimate that the painting, which is considered to be one of the biggest from Picasso's Rose Period, is worth more than US$100 million.
