Eye of the Soul

Fun 4 Kids: Try this at Home!!

Do you want a personal relationship with Pablo Picasso?






Look at the photos of Lion sculpture (or go downtown Chicago and see the real thing). Notice the eyes. Look as deep as you can. Picasso believed that eyes were windows to the soul. Did he suggest that being a cyclops involved the third eye? I don't think so. I think Picasso was fascinated by reality. But is seeing someones soul possible in "reality"? I believe Picasso tried. And if you want to study something, you get as close to it as you can. Any scientist will tell you that.

So next time you are around a human being, look into their eyes. From as close as you can get. Touch noses. You will see that your opposite has one eye with to irises and two pupils. And ONLY ONE EYEBALL.

So what other dimensions do you see in the sculpture? Angel wings? The voice of god? The mama matrix? A place for children to play?


I think Picasso believed that if you could see everyone as having one eyeball, he would never have had to paint Gurnica.
