He observed many Mexican people on his voyage from Mexico to Patagonia in 1945, which inspired him to create a series called collection called “Huaycayñan,” or “The Trail of Tears."
He was against dictatorship and war, which can be seen when he started his "Age of Anger" series.

In Cuba, as Fidel Castro's strict government expanded, Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy started to plan an invasion in 1960. Then on April 17, 1961, they invaded Cuba with bombs and missiles. With the locals supporting Castro and the Revolution, the invasion failed. 
Overall, Guyasamin was inspired by the war within humanity, and the tragedy of the loss of innocent people.  Playa Giron depicts pain and anguish of losing family in this tragedy. ]]> 2017-03-03 13:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_gronowska/ra9fdrbxc170/wish/157598618 chloe_lam1 https://padlet.com/maria_gronowska/ra9fdrbxc170/wish/157601946 Play Girón depicts the suffering of the families who lost their children in battle against the Americans at the Bay of Pigs. ]]> 2017-03-03 13:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_gronowska/ra9fdrbxc170/wish/157601946 jacqueline_gascon https://padlet.com/maria_gronowska/ra9fdrbxc170/wish/158005138 As viewers look at the image, the immediately notice the human bodies overwhelmed with grief and starvation.

This has a direct correlation to the events of the Mexican Revolution. The artist wanted to show that the lives of the victims were very dull and hopeless because of their grief and loss. 
Also, although the artist's style is variety of simple straight lines, this contrasts the uncertainty of the forward going lives of the women in the painting. Clearly, the main focus is the starving bodies, which has a strong impact on anyone who sees it. ]]> 2017-03-06 13:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_gronowska/ra9fdrbxc170/wish/158010659 jacqueline_gascon https://padlet.com/maria_gronowska/ra9fdrbxc170/wish/158019539 2017-03-06 14:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_gronowska/ra9fdrbxc170/wish/158019539
