  • Guernica
    by wurlitzerEP

    it’s crooked as it wants to be, / but you ask, ‘Pablo, why?’

    Guernica is a monumental painting by Pablo Picasso, depicting the carnal wake of the Nazi German bombing of Guernica, Spain, by twenty-eight bombers, on April 26, 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish government commissioned Pablo Picasso to paint a large mural for the Spanish display at the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris. Originally planned as a celebration of modern technology, the Paris World’s Fair instead received a sobering reminder of the inverse properties that apply to our world of “progress.” Sixty-seven years later, my personal microcosm underwent a profoundly stressful change, the event similarly facilitated by technology. I kept telling myself that I couldn’t call this experience unfair. It’s like looking at Picasso and saying, “It’s crooked.”

cubism – information provided by wikipedia:

Cubism was a 20th century art movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism, was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1908 and 1911 in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919, when the Surrealist movement gained popularity. In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space, one of cubism's distinct characteristics.
