Please take a few minutes to look at Pablo Picasso’s artwork below: After taking it in tell me what you see and feel in Number one below: 1- Please provide some detail as to some of the things you see, how it makes you feel, and what you think the art is about? DO NOT READ THIS SECTION UNTIL YOU COMPLETE PART 1 ABOVE. The painting (1937), which you may have seen before is titled Guernica, named after the town that was bombed by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Pictured include a gored horse, a bull, screaming women, a dead baby, a dismembered soldier, and flames. Making the anti-war painting even more powerful is its size (approximately 12 ft x 26 ft). The savagery is unavoidable. The imagery is intentionally lacking color (black and white, dark grays); and his style ties in the fragmented and mutilated human bodies; the lack of realism. It is an abstract depiction of a historical event (the attack on the town of Guernica); and reflects the feelings of agony; desperation; hopelessness; oppression; death; destruction; chaos. A particular symbol that stands out is the “broken” bull – traditionally a symbol of Spain – that, despite the painting’s abstract depiction of war, nevertheless implicates the Spanish nation in particular.
2-Now choose a group in the US with unique “cultural” art. How does it reflect the culture they are immersed in? (NOTE: the artwork may be reflective of a subculture, if so that should be noted). You must include a copy of a typical piece of art in your post. 4- Now choose a piece of artwork that has particular cultural relevance historically from somewhere outside of the US. You must include a picture in your post of the art you have chosen and describe how it makes you feel, what you see, and how it ties in the culture or historical relevance of the time. You may not choose another students posted art so you may post what you desire to use and then come back and add to it later. 5- Tell me why art, which can come in the form of music, graphic, dance, and so much more is often used a form of expression for a culture?
