One artist Miller continues to enjoy learning about is Pablo Picasso, known as one of the greatest painters in modern history. Picasso led the Cubism art style in the early 20th century, an Avant-guard challenging the stereotypes in the art world at the time. Best known for his work Guernica, Picasso created the enormous 11’ x 25’ painting as a protest, an anti-war statement against the bombing by Nazis of the Spanish town in 1937. Picasso used Guernica to raise awareness, speaking out against fascism, the military, and systems of death. This led to raising funds for relief efforts from the pain and injustices of the war. Miller's interest in Picasso grew when he visited the Pablo Picasso Musée in Paris in 2019, where he read details about original paintings, drawings, and quick sketches over the artist’s life.
