My nephew the artist had a fevered brow recently over particular social ills he sees around him, I told him he might have a Guernica in him. Spectacular masterpiece, thank you again.<br /><br />-FloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-5185224343265267152012-04-27T21:46:12.977-05:002012-04-27T21:46:12.977-05:00Up close Guernica is an incredibly beautiful paint...Up close Guernica is an incredibly beautiful painting, located in one of the world's greatest museums. It is the star of the show at the Reina Sophia, but there is an overload of great treasures there as well.Toadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320342028348619490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-26434728048580195242012-04-27T21:36:04.505-05:002012-04-27T21:36:04.505-05:00I believe that Hemmingway was soon to be in the ar...I believe that Hemmingway was soon to be in the area as well.Old Polonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-82892915147321303112012-04-27T17:25:13.170-05:002012-04-27T17:25:13.170-05:00Thanks for this post.

Picasso's bold mural helped make it an iconic moment in what we could call the destruction of human innocence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-61522607544217778182012-04-27T11:07:44.201-05:002012-04-27T11:07:44.201-05:00"Generalissimo Francisco Franco (who is STILL..."Generalissimo Francisco Franco (who is STILL dead btw)"<br /><br />SNL?<br /><br />Guernica looks like a cross section of my brain today, everything helter skelter, unresolved chaos, oddly making this association kind of calms me down, thank you! <br /><br />-FloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-20937286054536460892012-04-27T05:57:29.398-05:002012-04-27T05:57:29.398-05:00Having lived in Madrid, I can testify to the sheer...Having lived in Madrid, I can testify to the sheer overwhelming size of the piece. And, for those fortunate enough to see it in person, it brings home a stark reminder of how violence violates the psyche of human beings. In our age of video games that snuff lives....in the newspaper stories we read of atrocities like suicide bombers....Guernica is a call to the reality that we are all in this world together and that having the same creator....we really need to get along with one another.
