Museo Reina Sofia
Picasso, Guernica, Museo Reina Sofia Madrid |
Picasso fans will know that the Reina Sofia is home to Guernica, Picasso’s most famous work. Whilst living in France during World War Two, Picasso received a visit from the Nazis, who’s loathing of modern art is legendary. On seeing the Guernica canvas a Nazi officer asked Did you do this? to which Picasso’s legendary reply was: No, you did. Those of you familiar with the subject matter of Guernica will know that it depicts a famous massacre in the Basque city of Guernica, where the Nazis bombed the town to aide their ally, Spanish Fascist dictator General Franco. If the story is true, we are lucky not only that the painting survived, but that Picasso did too.
The painting is way cooler when you see it for real, many details that printed reproductions hide are revealed, and the painting is surprisingly big too, check it out Juiclings, Spain rocks!

Earrings on the Terrace by Tony Bulmer
Earrings on the Terrace/ Une nuit a Paris by Tony Bulmer |
The artist has traveled to Paris many times and Parisian subjects are a personal favourite. Juiclings will spot the famous Eiffel Tower, but notice also, the domes of the Sacré-Cœur riding atop the hill of Montmartre and the roof of the Musée d'Orsay.
Bags by Chanel. hair by Retro and style by Tres outré, Martinis are extra dry, naturally. This painting was almost entitled War on the Terrace, but those unfamiliar with the game of soccer might not appreciate the subtle irony. The earrings are, of course, extra fabulous for your delight and delectation.
