Feature

The modern artist most capable of poetically confronting us with the horror of war.

Description

The theme of War and Peace is compared with the works of a painter who covered the 20th century, Pablo Picasso, and the words of a philosopher, Carlo Sini, who covered the second part of it, entering the 21st century. An important text by Sylvie Forestier takes us through Picasso's Chapel of War and Peace and the chronology of his works. Picasso, at the end of the First World War, travelled to Italy with Cocteau and discovered the Mediterranean myth of peace. The war in Spain with the Nazi bombing of Guernica inspired Picasso to create a masterpiece on the tragedy of war, 'Guernica', accompanied by works on pain. After the Second World War, Picasso rediscovered Mediterranean peace in Antibes and, politically committed, created a symbol, the dove. The war in Korea brought him back to a new Guernica, this time in memory of the shooting painted by Goya. The challenge of the Chapel of War and Peace, together with Guernica and Massacre in Korea, makes Picasso the modern artist most capable of putting us poetically in front of the horror of war. Sini's words lead us to the meaning and practice of peace. Sini recalls Whitehead for whom peace was a "way of being, not a concept; rather it is a symbolic action, which has some connection with Art and Beauty. In this sense it ideally frequents myth and all the archetypal figures of human primordialism". Sini insists: "It is not being left in peace or being left in peace in one's own refuge and hiding place but, on the contrary, being totally open and in the open, without any more protection (as Rilke said), in love with the spectacle of others and with the beauty of common life; forgetful of imaginary profits and entirely dedicated to the enterprises to be faced with the companions that destiny has given us".
