Memorial Day
Memorial Day: a day to remember and to be thankful to all who have served and to all who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
In the midst of World War two, 1942, Picasso created this piece of art and turned it into a bronze sculpture that’s become a cultural icon.
During the War materials for sculpture were severely limited and Picasso worked with anything at hand, including pieces of wood, bones, wine–bottle caps, scraps of paper, cigarette packets and even a seat and handlebars.

During the War materials for sculpture were severely limited and Picasso worked with anything at hand, including pieces of wood, bones, wine–bottle caps, scraps of paper, cigarette packets and even a bicycle saddle and handlebars that he used to create a life–like head of a bull. When canvas was not available he painted on planks and hardboard, or as can be seen in Head of a woman, November 1941, on newspaper where the stark, black outlines seem to echo the austerity and bleakness of war–torn Paris.
