"Picasso - The Art of War" Part 4: Picasso's Secret Diary

“Painting is just another way of keeping a Diary” Pablo Picasso

Picasso didn’t just say the above quote, he lived it. Throughout his career he utilized his canvas to tell the story of his life; his inner most thoughts, actions, desires, and most importantly, his accomplishments - hiding propaganda messages within his work. His canvas was his Diary!

“We all know that art is not the truth, art is a lie that makes us realize the truth” Pablo Picasso

In his own words, Picasso said it all, but what he doesn’t tell you is his work was full of the truth; the truth of his own activities, deception and manipulation. Picasso was known for his womanizing and disrespect for females, so it’s easy to see how he conducted his life. Again, in his words, “it is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction”. It was his seduction of the art world that gave him the liberty to promote his propaganda. It was through the European art world where he planted seeds one by one of hatred for freedom. Yet it was that freedom that gave him his voice

In the two pieces of his work I have already brought to your attention, the Dove of Peace and the Chicago Picasso, one can clearly see they weren’t designed for the pleasure of the eye, but like a Shaman cultivating his seeds of deception, he used them to manipulate the weak with his hidden messages. Messages he used to further the cause of the Communist Party agenda.

Today, I am unveiling an unknown attributed work of Pablo Picasso, a gouache on paper that shows miniature art and cleverly hidden art, some of which contain symbols and codes that span decades - dated 1967. With each symbol, each set of letters and cleverly hidden character I will show a direct connection to historical events in which he was involved. This piece of art is his final message to the world – I’ve been able to manipulate and control you, world events while assisting my beloved Communist Party from my little piece of the world.

This is definitely one in a series of works the Picasso family is in search of – those missing pieces of art from 1965 – 1967 - they don’t want the world to see. Why would they want to prevent the public from seeing these pieces of art; maybe because they will clearly show just how dangerous the man was in life?

When this work was produced he was just about 87-years old and it’s not clear why he decided to put his propaganda work on one canvas like this; maybe he thought it would never be deciphered by anyone for centuries. We’ll it has been deciphered by someone and thank the heavens it has, because it clearly helps to unravel the destruction and complicated web that has been weaved by the Communist Party to control everything within the free world.

The United States Government suspected Picasso of being inside the highest level of the Communist Party, but he always denied it. Well this piece of art proves he was not only privy to information before it was made known, but he helped orchestrate it. How else would a painter know of such things?
In tomorrow’s segment, I will point out and explain certain symbols and codes to help you understand what they mean.

"Picasso – The Art of War" Part 2: A Dove of Peace or Revenge

When we think of the Dove of Peace, we think of purity, love and humanity. The world renowned symbol of Peace is a pure white dove, flying with a leaf in its beak, surrounded by colorful flowers reflecting tranquility and serenity.


The picture depicted above is what the International Peace movement wants you to believe, but in reality, it’s nothing more than a cover story for what the real intention has been since 1949.

After Allied Forces won World War II, Hitler’s army was defeated and the Communist Party throughout Europe had been crippled, or so we thought. They were thwarted yes, but not totally crippled to the point where they laid down their ideology and commitment. Instead, they regrouped silently and began planning their next attack; this time without bullets or war. They would launch a new attack that would take a considerable amount of time if their plan was to work.

Shortly after World War II ended in 1945, or maybe before it ended, Pablo Picasso was livid at the course to which world events turned against the Communist Party. His beloved Communist Party was losing ground and events in Paris during that time made him very angry at the United States of America; after all they thwarted the effort of the cause. No one knows if he consulted with anyone in the party, but we must assume he did because he created a new piece of artwork; a small painting of a Dove. This is no ordinary Dove, because if you look very closely, you will see it is not a Dove of Peace at all. In fact, it’s a Dove ruffling its feathers and on the wing in front, there’s clearly an upside down flag that can only be the flag of the United States of America for it has strips, but no stars.

Picasso was the master at disguising hidden symbols and meanings in all his artwork. This was his way of sending messages to those within the Communist Party throughout the world of what the party planned for the future. It is clear in this one piece of art, he was letting his fellow Communist members not to despair they were planning to ruffle the feathers of their enemy – America.

Later in 1949, Picasso having a strong knowledge of mythology, religion and history combined these three things into a new piece of work, the Dove of Peace and introduced it to members of the Congress of Peace. He again redesigned his famous Dove of Peace when the International Peace Movement started.

One must understand the history behind the symbol of the Dove based on biblical writings. First mentioned in the Old Testament wherein it says, Noah released a pigeon to see if the flood waters had receded. When it returned with a twig in its mouth, it was proof a new world had emerged from the flood waters and a mighty change had occurred.

In mythology, most all birds were associated with the creation of the life or a new world. In Ancient Egyptian mythology it was believed a new land rose out of the primeval waters of chaos and horror. Upon this new land appeared a bird perched on a branch.

Throughout Europe birds were used to symbolize power and strength. In 1917 the German Government printed a poster depicting a white dove with an olive branch flying under a black eagle. Now mind you the black eagle was the national symbol long before Hitler and the Nazi Party hijacked it. In fact according to Germany’s own history, the eagle has a rich heritage as their national insignia deriving from the heraldic Roman Aquila, including the German Empire and the Weimar Republic.

Taking into consideration all of the above, Picasso used his ability and talent yet again as the master of propaganda messages by using the symbolism of the Dove for the treachery campaign the Communist Party was creating.

The symbol of the Dove surrounded by colorful flowers was created as a symbol to be used by people all around the world under the cloak of deception. Many variations of his original symbol have been used by artists around the world; each with their own variation of their own interpretation. Throughout China the Dove can be seen in many Communist propaganda paintings and drawings. In many European communities there are pictures and posters of young children holding a Dove, this isn’t done by accident. In many Middle Eastern countries there are artist renditions of a Dove squatting on a scarf, or on top of a camel out in the desert. The symbol isn’t meant for peace, but for war.

After Picasso was denied access to the United States in 1950, his campaign intensified. It was time to enact his and the Communist Party’s plan for world domination, their numbers were low because of the war and they had to recruit unsuspecting individuals to help them – they turned to those within the new Peace Movement.

Did Picasso’s Dove of Treachery and Revenge plan work? We'll find out in Picasso - The Art of War," Part 3: An Army of Dove's.

"Picasso – Artist or Covert Spy?"

It is widely known throughout the art world that Pablo Picasso was a tyrant to his family, his children and in many cases his friends. He was also very generous man too; giving away gifts of his work in all shapes and sizes to friends, other artists, writers and in some cases those who did work for him and his wife Jacqueline.


Over the years, a few unknown pieces of Picasso’s work have surfaced by aging individuals who once worked for him in France, or mysteriously appeared at auction houses like Christie’s or Sotheby’s - who have the exclusive rights from the estate to sell his work. The hunt for these unknown pieces, especially his works from 1965 to 1967 are in high demand by not only the art world, but most importantly, the Picasso family heirs.

One has to wonder why the estate would be so eager to find these pieces. Is it to preserve the Picasso legacy? Is it because their strapped for cash and they want to sell them at a high price through their exclusive connection with Christie’s and Sotheby’s who can sell anything with the name Picasso on it. Or is it because these unknown works tell a story they don’t want known to Picasso admirers?

Upon learning about the case of Picasso Estate vs. Pierre Le Guennec I became intrigued about this case. The more I learned about it, the more I got upset and began researching Picasso’s work. Over the last month, I have been reviewing dozens of his masterpieces and noticed a few things that caught my eye. Symbols hidden in each piece that struck me kind of odd, so I began digging into his career, his work and his involvement with the French Communist Party.

With the help of a specialized art and antiquities expert who was kind enough to explain the variations in the artists work, I began to see a pattern of subtle messages and hidden meanings within each of his artistic works. In order to understand the art, you must first understand the artist. What I found in my research will certainly rock not only the art world, but the world as a whole.

It is also widely known throughout historical writings and memoirs, Pablo Picasso never hid his support for the Communist Party, especially during World War II, post-war and this continued until the artist died in 1973.

As a member of the French Resistance, Picasso was known for assisting with the dissemination of propaganda messages through his many masterpieces’. All one has to do is look at his work to see various religious, mythological and historical symbols deep within each stroke. As you look closer, each of these have a hidden propaganda message; messages hidden in the dark areas unseen by the average art enthusiast. Once you see one message, your eye will begin to detect other symbols in his many paintings, drawings, collages or his miniature art gouache pieces.

Over the next few weeks, I will release a number of articles that will help set the stage for my final piece – the unveiling of an unknown attributed work of Pablo Picasso, a gouache on paper that shows miniature art and cleverly hidden art, some of these contain symbols and codes that span decades, it definitely tells the story of a man who was much more than just an artist.
