Why did Picasso heat the stove with his paintings?

In 1900, Picasso moved from Spain to Paris, where he spent time getting acquainted with the work of the Impressionists. His life during this period is fraught with many difficulties. The artist was so poor that sometimes instead of firewood he was forced to heat the stove with his own paintings. The prospect of freezing from the cold was apparently much worse for the artist than the sacrifice of his creativity. However, the sacrifice was not in vain, since it is precisely due to difficult life circumstances that the famous “blue period” arises in the work of the painter. The palette of these paintings is characterized by blue shades. In the paintings of this period, images of poverty, sadness and melancholy, the themes of old age and death are vividly presented.
The artist depicted beggars, the blind, alcoholics and prostitutes, trying to show the world human suffering.
