This is Paul Bond's Lao Tzu's Dream. (Do you know what Lao Tzu's name means? Old Teacher. ) Yeah, I'm a total STAN. Look at how he uses hyper-realism (the stones' texture) but utterly surreal elements...you know, the tree & such...knock the viewer a little off balance. Plus, it's a little mockery of the whole hipster cairn-building fad. He's good.

This is a very famous painting by Pablo Picasso called Guernica, made in 1937. It is his personal representation of the history of the bombing of the city Guernica. Picasso shows the pain and despair as he uses historiographic metafiction to describe in the death of these innocent people. Although the people depicted in this painting are not real, they represent the lives and loss of lives after this event.
