Throughout history, art has been one of the primary ways humans express their feelings and moods. This is because art is a quiet, subjective way of interrupting the world. Even though very few artists have explained their artwork, it is up to the viewer to interpret the work. Art has been used as a means to ridicule, idolize, and misrepresent people throughout history. Pablo Picasso is an artist whose links to Spain predominate in most of his works. Most of his paintings depict a bull; an iconic image of Spain. Guernica (1937) by Pablo Picasso is his vision of the negative effects of war. Using the bull to symbolize the protagonists like Spain, the pain and suffering the people are in, and using dark colors. First, Picasso's use of the bull in the painting symbolizes the protagonist as Spain. Its inhabitants suffer and the following quote shows it: "He (Taurus) is alternately sad as indicated by the position of his pupils and the curvature of his head or excited by fury as indicated by his gallop and his large eyes open" (Spence, 1965, p. His appearance shows that Spain is in a state of sadness and despair judging by his eyes. However, there is hope and inspiration to make a change and end the suffering. This also explains that the bull is angry, ready to retaliate against the corrupt government. "The bull, both hero and victim of the traditional fight, stands to the left of the shallow stage..." (Fiero, 2011, p.69). the emotions of the innocent; depression and fury....... middle of paper ......entirely, and also sees it differently. There are no set rules for art, it can be done however the painter wishes. Art is engraved in our evolution since human existence. Art is a unique trait that only humans engage in and will continue to do so until the end of time. I believe that the future of art will continue to be the most effective way for us humans to express our feelings. Works Cited - Fiero, G.K. (2011).
