The Old Guitarist, Pablo Picasso
This painting by Picasso in an example of emphasis by one element. The guitar is a strong focal point in this piece. The dark colors that are used blend together, making the brown and tan of the guitar really pop off the page. At the same time, it is not too much and does not take away from the unity of the piece as a whole. It almost appears that the man is dead and the only thing "alive" is the guitar. The only change in color pallette for the entire picture is that which was used in the guitar. Picasso must have wanted out eyes to see that guitar, and not see the man right away.
