Highmore, Ben. “Familiar things.” Ordinary Lives. London and New York: Routledge, 2010: 58-85.

Highmore goes on to say “Things act on us and we act on things. There seems to…

contrasting styles and different looks. “Liberty Leading the People” and “Guernica” are just two paintings in the world that are about war. “Liberty Leading the People” was painted by Eugene Delacroix in 1830 and the painting “Guernica” was painted by Pablo Picasso in 1937.

“New Encounters with Les Demoiselles d’Avignon: Gender, Race, and the Origins of Cubism” shows a more critical perspective of men (the painter and viewer), more specifically, Pablo Picasso.
