Painting by Robert Delaunay
Title:  Simultaneous Contrasts: Sun and Moon 1913
Media:  Oil on Canvas

This oil on canvas painting , painted by Pablo Picasso, demonstrates all that is significant about modern Art.  And yet there is enough realism to tell the story, and attract the non-believers.  It is one of the premier attractions of the Museum of Modern Art, in New York.

The modern sculpture stands 22 metres (70 feet) tall and sits on a simple island in a small pool. The sculpture is covered with glazed ceramic tiles of red, yellow and blue.

Recently I was on holiday in the city of Barcelona, and I came across some wonderful examples of graffiti. Out came the camera, and I began to shoot.

Love it or loathe it, graffiti is with us to stay. Historians often remind us that this way of creative expression is nothing new. The practice was very much a part of ancient societies, like Greece or Rome. Yet most countries have laws which generally restrict this practice. On a few occasions, selected artists are allowed the opportunity to present their work. I suspect that these images from Barcelona were probably done with the city's approval.

Please enjoy.
