Throughout history, art has been one of the main ways humans use to express their feelings and moods. This is because art is a calm and subjective way of interrupting the world. Although very few artists have explained their artwork, it is up to the viewer to interpret the work. Art has been used as a way to ridicule, idolize, and portray the image of people throughout history. One artist whose connections to Spain are prevalent in most of his work is Pablo Picasso. Most of his paintings depict a bull; an iconic image of Spain. Guernica (1937) by Pablo Picasso is his way of representing the negative effects of war. Using the bull to symbolize the protagonists such as Spain, the pain and suffering that the people find themselves in and the use of dark colours. First, Picasso's use of the bull in the painting symbolizes the protagonist as Spain. His people suffer and the following quote proves it. “He (Bull) is alternately sad as indicated by the position of his pupils and bowed head or furiously excited as indicated by his gallop and wide eyes” (Spence, 1965, p. 354). His appearance shows that Spain is in a state of pain and despair from the look of his eyes. However, there is hope and inspiration to make a change and end the suffering. He also explains that the bull is enraged, ready to retaliate against the corrupt government. “The bull, at once the hero and victim of traditional combat, stands to the left of the shallow stage…” (Fiero, 2011, p.69). This quote demonstrates role reversal; the bull (Spain) which once represented a great and powerful country is now a subjugated entity. In essence, the bull representing the protagonist as Spain portrays the emotions of the innocent; depression and fury... in the center of the paper... in depth, and he also sees it differently. There are no set rules for art, it can be made any way the painter wants it to be. Art has been engraved in our evolution since human existence. Art is a unique feature that only humans engage in and will continue to do so until the end of time. I believe the future of art will continue to be the most efficient way we humans express our feelings. Works Cited - Fiero, G.K. (2011).
