Oil on Canvas

Marc Chagall began his artistic life came when he first noticed a fellow student drawing. The young Chagall said, watching someone draw "was like a vision, a revelation in black and white". He said there was no art of any kind in his family's home and the concept was totally alien to him. When Chagall asked the schoolmate how he learned to draw, his friend replied, "Go and find a book in the library, idiot, choose any picture you like, and just copy it". He soon began copying images from books and found the experience so rewarding he then decided he wanted to become an artist.

Fashion Or Folly

Mona Lisa has no eyebrows.

Some researchers claim that it was common at the time for women to pluck them, as they were considered unsightly. In 2007, French engineer Pascal Cotte announced that his ultra high resolution scans of the painting provide evidence that Mona Lisa originally had delicately painted eyelashes and eyebrows, but that they had gradually disappeared over time, perhaps as a result of overcleaning

Guernica

Pablo Picasso

1937

Oil on Canvas

Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain

Arguably the most important painting of the 20th century, Guernica should be seen as Picasso’s comment on how art can liberate and protect against overwhelming forces such as political crime, war, and death. This is an example of the power of an artist.

Guernica depicts the suffering wrought by a German bombing in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War.
Three years later, when the artist was living in Nazi-occupied Paris, a Gestapo officer saw a photo of the painting in his apartment. “Did you do that?” he asked.
“No,” Picasso said. “You did.”
