Guernica

Represents the horrors of war and the suffering it inflicts on individuals, particularly innocent civilians.
Created in response to the bombing of the town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War in 1937.
Combines surrealist and cubist elements to convey chaos, despair, and destruction.
Features a fragmented composition with symbolic figures such as the anguished mother, the fallen soldier, and the screaming horse.
Demonstrates Picasso’s mastery in monochromatic tones, enhancing the raw emotional impact of the scene.
Served as a political statement and anti-war protest, becoming one of the most iconic works of 20th-century art.
