This painting is significant to the Surrealist movement, Jewish Artists, and to the popularity of Marc Chagall. Once you understand some of the details of the history of this work and its creator, that might not sound like such a grand…

By wondering among rooms each with a specific style of art, I found the room showing Cubism, introducing Pablo Picasso and Georeges Braque especially fascinating. After leaving the museum, I realized that I spent most of the time watching at the paintings related to Cubism, because the ideas from the paintings were obscure in forms of patterns, I needed to stop and watch for a while in front of the paintings to understand them.

In Chapter 21, on page 782 and image number 21.3, is a picture of Pablo Picasso's Guernica, and on page 781, discusses the history of the painting. I initially did not like it because it looks like a jumble of disfigured people who look like they are in pain and it's too depressing to look at because of its violent image. However, after I watched the video of Guernica and read the painting's description in the book, I realized what it was truly about. In 1937, Picasso painted Guernica, which is…
