On Einstein as Medusa:
Albert Einstein’s theory and experiments discovered a nuclear power that is a relatively cheaper alternative energy source. Such knowledge is dangerous and scary when it is used by the wrong people and misguided policies. This painting serves as a metaphor to illustrate that great thoughts can also be transformed into a Medusa that can inflict fatal damage with the wrong vision.
On Guevera as Cassanova:
Che Guevera is from Argentina and endears as the Cuban revolution hero who fought against an oppressive and capitalist government for the lives of the common people. Commercialism uses Che's picture as an icon to charm and attract people's attention and to change a nation’s hero into Cassanova for individual benefit.
On Picasso as Judge:
Pablo Picasso has often been described in mainstream modern art as one of the greatest modern artists. Many of his works make statements that have formed the foundations for important art theories and his artistic views are the key to appreciating modern art.
DaVinci as Alien:
Leonardo Da Vinci lived centuries ago and was described as a genius by many theorists in his time and after. Facing his inventions, young people continue to be amazed and curious at the same time. Da Vinci still keeps a sense of mystery from the past, carrying into the future.
