Pablo Picasso: Guernica (1937)


This painting by Picasso was painted in 1937. This painting shows the bombing of Gernika. This painting shows how bad war is and all of the pain and suffering that can be caused by war. you can also notice that the colors used in the painting are gray and black. gray and black are somber and sad colors. Also in this painting there is buildings falling and flames and disaster at every turn. You can almost see the bodies structures as a stand against this war and all it has caused. This mural was commissioned and displayed at Exposition Internationale des Arts et Tecniques dans la vie Moderne (1937).
