Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Apocalyptic literature has been witnessed from the time of the Messianic
period. The human race has and will continue documenting ideas of
apocalypse. Today different forms of art depict apocalypse as a theme.
Apocalypse may not be limited to the revelation of the end of the world
but a revelation or a premonition in varied forms. Premonition may be for
a catastrophic event; one that could end the world but not necessarily one
that will.
This article looks at apocalyptic art works of a Surrealist and a Cubist artist,
Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso respectively. “Soft Construction with
Boiled Beans” by Dali will be studied in detail to understand its apocalyptic
nature. Picasso’s “Guernica” and Vasco Gargalo’s “Aleppo(nica)” will be
looked at as an expression of apocalypse that is timeless.
