A piece of art

Thursday 21 April 2011




Hello teacher and classmates, today i'm going to talk about a piece of art that i like.


The piece of art is a painting from Pablo Picasso, and this is called Guernica, it name is because Picasso painted it a pairs of month after of bombard the city of Guernica in Spain, in the Spanish Civil War. This is a wonderful work painted on canvas and Pablo Picasso presented his work in 1.937 in the Paris International Exhibition by to have the attention of the people in relation to the things than was happened in Spain.

I saw this work for the first time when i was a girl, and i saw this piece of art in a diary of my sister, this was a diary about painted and the most interesting was the Guernica and i liked it because this was the only one in black and white, all the others painting was in color. This painting was awesome because you could see as a puzzle.

And in those years was Franco in Spain, so Picasso opted to leave the Guernica in the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York. And he want that the painting should go back to Spain when return the democracy.
And today the Guernica is in Museum Reina Sofia, in Madrid.

Bye bye and good weekend.
