Today, his works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, among others. The artist died in 1992 in Venice, Italy.

Commercial art poster of Pablo Picasso's (1881-1973) painting Guernica, 1937. The poster was issued by EDICIONES A. I. Nº 504 - ARTES GRÁFICAS - MADRID 1976. One of Picasso's best known works, Guernica is regarded by many art critics as one of the most moving and powerful anti-war paintings in history. It is exhibited in the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. The gray, black, and white painting, which is 3.49 meters (11 ft 5 in) tall and 7.76 meters (25 ft 6 in) across, portrays the suffering of people and animals wrenched by violence and chaos. Prominent in the composition are a gored horse, a bull, screaming women, dismemberment, and flames. Picasso painted Guernica at his home in Paris in response to the bombing of Guernica, a Basque Country town in northern Spain, by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy at the request of the Spanish Nationalists. Upon completion, Guernica was exhibited at the Spanish display at the 1937 Paris International Exposition, and then at other venues around the world. The touring exhibition was used to raise funds for Spanish war relief. The painting soon became famous and widely acclaimed, and it helped bring worldwide attention to the Spanish Civil War.

§ PABLO PICASSO (SPANISH 1881-1973) MINOTAURE, UNE COUPE À LA MAIN, ET JEUNE FEMME - 1933Etching on Montval paper with Vollard watermark from the Vollard suite, ed. 250, signed in pencil to margin, unframed (Dimensions: 34cm x 44.5cm (13.5in x 17.5in))Biography: Picasso throughout his life had a prolific output of paintings, sculptures, etchings, and ceramics. His career spanned nearly 80 years and when he died at age 91 in April 1973; he had become one of the most successful and influential artists in history. Picasso is credited, along with Georges Braque, with the creation of Cubism, as well as the co-invention of collage and the invention of constructed sculpture. His personal life also causes much intrigue, having had several wives, mistresses, and muses. Throughout the 1930s and 40s Picasso entertained principally two women, Marie-Therese Walter and Dora Maar. Maar originally a photographer and a painter expressed her art alongside Picasso. The women in Picasso’s life greatly influenced and inspired his artwork. Picasso's work is often categorized into periods, such as the Blue Period (1901–1904), the Rose Period (1904–1906), the African-influenced Period (1907–1909), Analytic Cubism (1909–1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912–1919). The work following these periods tend to be executed in a neoclassical style, eventually showing characteristics of Surrealism. It is obvious that Picasso often changed his style and experimented with different theories, ideas, and techniques throughout his life.

Biography: Considered to be one the most important British artists of the twentieth century, Sir Howard Hodgkin was a central figure in the country's modern art movement. Born in 1932 in Hammersmith, London, Hodgkin was determined to become a painter from the young age of five. During the Second World War Hodgkin, along with his sister and mother, were evacuated to Long Island, USA. There his ambitions to paint were reinforced after seeing pictures by Matisse, and Picasso at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. After returning to England he attended Eton College. After running away from school twice, Hodgkin was transferred to Bryanston School in Dorset however he soon ran away again to pursue his ambition of becoming a painter. Hodgkin first trained at Camberwell School of Art, followed by four years studying at Bath Academy of Art. In the mid-1950s a wave of Abstract Expressionism exhibitions in London had an important impact on the development of his style, and to an extent liberated him as an artist. Hodgkin has exhibited at numerous notable institutions including the Hayward Gallery and Gagosian. He was also granted numerous major shows including exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, Tate Britain as well as representing Britain at the 1984 Venice Biennale. In 1976 Hodgkin's first retrospective was curated by Nicolas Serota at the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, and in 1992 he was knighted for his services to the arts.

Liu Yusu (Chinese, 20th C.) "Year of the Snake" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 34c Year of the Snake Stamp issued January 20, 2001. The Chinese calendar, or Sheng Xiao, is a combination of symbolism and mathematical complexities. The Sheng Xiao possibly originated during the reign of Emperor Huang in 2637 B.C. Inscriptions of this system on animal bones have been excavated at the Yin Ruins of Anyang, Henan. Twelve animals are associated with the calendar -- the rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and boar. The Sheng Xiao consists of repeating cycles, with 2001 being the Year of the Snake. Those born in a given year are said to share that animal's character traits. Thus, people born during the Year of the Snake are kind, courageous and goal-oriented. Twelve animals came to send Buddha off to heaven and Buddha assigned them their places in the calendar according to the order of their arrival. The rat showed up first and the boar last. In ancient times, the Sheng Mao played a great role in people's lives by providing guidance in decisions regarding marriage and childbirth. Even today, the horoscope remains an integral part of everyday life for many people in China and elsewhere around the world. The Chinese year begins with the second new moon after the winter solstice, sometime between January 21 and February 20. The Chinese New Year can fall on any of 31 days. New Year's Day is a time of great celebration and is the most important day in the Chinese canlendar. Famous persons born under this sign include Abraham Lincoln, Pablo Picasso and John F. Kennedy.
