Reflection 8

  Yesterday I finished a book- Candide which in the end made me realize what is actually the most important in keeping yourself happy. It ended with the words "Let us cultivate our garden" which means to me that we have to keep ourselves busy even with simple activities to be satisfied. When I was thinking about it it reminded me of two weeks of the last summer that I spent with actually doing nothing effortable or productive. I remember that after that I felt even more lack of energy and satisfaction or happiness than if I was working really hard and was because of it exhausted. At least then I'd feel that I'm doing something important. That's why I think that these words are very accurate to nowadays world and we should keep them in mind when we e.g. complain for too much work.

    This is often a problem retired people have - having nothing to do they feel useless. This applies especially to men, as women find it much more natural to occupy themselves with 'simple activities' like cleaning, cooking or knitting.

Guernica

                               GUERNICA As a conclusion of the topic about Picasso I decided to write about Guernica. It's a painting which Pablo painted in 1937 and now it's known at the global scale. It's probably one of the most famous paintings of Picasso. It is 349 cm high and 776 cm wide, so it's more like a mural painting but it's not on the wall but on a huge canvas. The whole process of creating was documented by a photographer who he dated then, Dora Maar. It can be know admired in the National Museum of Art in Madrid with her photos. The history of the masterpiece refers to the bomb that was dropped at a village in the North of Spain, Guernica. It caused a lot of damage including killing many civils. This was actually the first time when the artist painted something as a reaction to a political problem. Guernica shows the tragedy of war and suffering of the innocent. We can see there,...

Is it possible to live plastic free?

Our society has a serious problem with plastic consumption. We use so much of it that we can't deal without it. The video showed how a man challenged himself to live plastic free for a month. It wasn’t easy because nowadays most of food products are wrapped in plastic. There is also a problem with expenses because usually eco food is more expensive but sometimes it's cheaper e.g. buying coffee in your own reusable cup gives you discount. I think that regardless of the difficulty we should try to use less plastic to protect the environment but probably it's not possible to live completely free of it. words: penalty, incentive, to throw oneself into sth I threw myself into that work and couldn't stop doing it. Some people think death penalty should be legalised Kids sometimes needs an  incentiv e to eat food they don't like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC9TYktAWfM

Picasso's women

                                                                     Picasso's women When we look at Picasso’s paintings we can see a lot of women’s portraits and acts. The reason is Picasso as many other artists had his muses. In a huge number of his mistresses there are only 7 with whom he lived for a longer time and who had influence on his art. The first one was Fernande Olivier  (1881-1996). He met her in 1904 when he moved to France. In 1907, when Fernande was with someone else he painted famous "Les demoiselles d'Avignon”. It is supposed that the feeling of jealousy had influence on him while painting the masterpiece. The second one was Eva Gouel. She was with the artist for 4 years and died because of tuberculosis in 1915. His first marriage was with Olga Koklova, a Ukraine woman, who gave b...
