- Columbia Hills Historical State Park History (parks.wa.gov)
The story of Columbia Hills Historical State Park is both exciting and painful in its connections to one of the most significant centers of human and natural history in the Pacific Northwest. The park lies just a short distance upstream from the site of the Long Narrows of the Columbia River and about 10 miles downstream from the site of Celilo Falls. Both features were inundated by the reservoir behind The Dalles Dam in 1957. Indigenous people have lived here for millennia, thriving at what was one of the most productive fishing sites in North America, surrounded by rich upland resources and the focal point of an extensive trade network.
- Pablo Picasso (Wikipedia)
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist and theatre designer who spent most of his adult life in France. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907), and the anti-war painting Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War.
