The horseshoe as sign of hope for luck
The Guernica is Picasso's most famous painting. Everyone has seen an image of it. It shows the raw and penetrating horrors of the war. You can almost hear the screams of the victims.
The painting is full of anti-war symbols, but what many do not know, is that there are also small signs of hope and new luck: a lamp that keeps shining despite of everything, flowers in the hand of a fallen soldier and a meticulously painted horseshoe. The dying horse is the central image of the painting. The animal suffers greatly. At first sight, we only see the head of the animal, but who takes a closer look can see its legs, and on its hind leg, Picasso painted, remarkably precise, a horseshoe. An intricate sign of hope for luck.

Living happily in a horseshoe

How far will you go to attract Good Luck?
People have been tattooing each other for over five thousand years, possibly since the end of the last Ice Age. Tattoos have been used to mark clans, indicate social class, identify criminals, demonstrate religious pride, flaunt authority, advertise special skills, ward off evil, and bring good luck. The earliest known proof of deliberate inking was found on the frozen body of the “Iceman” discovered in 1991 by hikers in the Alps. At first thought to be a deceased mountaineer, the man turned out to be a member of an ancient Neolithic community. His body revealed numerous areas with short lines pigmented by charcoal; since each area covered lesions of degenerated bone, they may represent the first actual evidence of acupuncture. For whatever reason, the practice of tattooing remains common all over the world and seems to be increasing as a means of self-expression.
