A Fantastic 3D Animated Video Featuring Paintings by Picasso, Dali, van Gogh and Escher

I absolutely love this video. This is a beautiful animated amalgam of four works of art produced by Marcelo Ricardo Ortiz from the Vancouver Film School. Ortiz calls his work Guernica after Pablo Picasso's masterpiece about which Lunatica posted a marvelous 3D animated rendition a while back. Featured in this video are also Vincent van Gogh's Room in Arles which was also showcased in Lunatica in two beautiful videos not long ago; Salvador Dali's The Persistence of Memory and Dutch painter M.C Escher who is famous for his gravity-defying etchings and illustrations such as Relativity which is being featured in Ortiz' fabulous work. Sit (or stand if you please) and enjoy this beautiful work.

Pablo Picasso's Masterpiece "Guernica" in 3-D

To see Pablo Picasso’s Guernica in 3-D is a rare treat. The Guernica is perhaps Pablo Picasso’s most famous painting. The work of art depicts the Nazi German Luftwaffe bombing of Guernica, Spain on April 26 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. Picasso, who was very affected by the bombing which killed several hundred people, painted Guernica at the behest of the Spanish government which commissioned him to paint a large mural for the Paris International Exposition in 1937. On completion, Guernica was displayed around the world becoming famous and widely acclaimed. This tour brought the Spanish civil war to the world’s attention. The Guernica epitomizes the tragedies of war and the suffering armed conflicts inflict upon individuals. This monumental work has, through the years, become a perpetual embodiment of peace and a desperate cry against war.
