Picasso: The rose period

| Picasso - Mother and child (Baladins) - 1905 |
Picasso's rose period was between 1904 and 1906. In this period he he used a lot of reds and rose in his paintings. These works were inspired by his stay in Paris. They are not my favorite paintings, but beautiful anyway. These paintings are mostly categorized as post-impressionism symbolism and expressionism. Something I noticed that the boys in these paintings all look alike. Is he painting him self or a boy he knows? Maybe that is written down in a biography, but I don't know the answer :-)
About the rose period (Wikipedia)
The Rose Period signifies the time when the style of Pablo Picasso's painting used cheerful orange and pink colours in contrast to the cool, somber tones of the previous Blue Period. The Rose Period lasted from 1904 to 1906.[1] Picasso was happy in his relationship with Fernande Olivier whom he had met in 1904 and this has been suggested as one of the possible reasons he changed his style of painting. Harlequins, circus performers and clowns appear frequently in the Rose Period and will populate Picasso's paintings at various stages through the rest of his long career. The harlequin, a comedic character usually depicted in checkered patterned clothing, became a personal symbol for Picasso.
The Rose Period has been considered French influenced, while the Blue Period more Spanish influenced, although both styles emerged while Picasso was living in Paris. Picasso's Blue Period lasted from late 1901, following the death of his friend Casagemas, and the onset of a bout of major depression.[2] It lasted until 1904, when Picasso's psychological condition improved. The Rose Period is named after Picasso's heavy use of pink tones in his works from this period, from the French word for pink, which is "rose".
The Rose Period was followed by Picasso's somewhat lesser known African influenced period, where his cubism took form. The most famous painting from Picasso's African Period is Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, painted in 1907, which created a sensation among critics and the public when it was exhibited in 1916.
