I see a black and white coloured self portrait Picasso, with the sketches rough and not very clear despite there being lines.

I think we was trying to portray how he thought of himself abstractly by making his chin sharper and making his nose appear bigger, in general trying to show the prominent features of his face. I think his eyes look empty and that his face seemed nonchalant.

Perhaps he used black and white to show his empty feelings.

I wonder what Picasso was thinking when sketching himself without actually being able to see himself, example how did he think he looked.

I wonder why Picasso chose to draw using black and white, since I would think that colouors can express more emotions or evoke more feelings
