Guernica
Picasso's monumental anti-war painting depicts the bombing of Guernica during Spanish Civil War. Fragmented Cubist forms, screaming figures, and monochrome palette convey horror and chaos. The work explores war, suffering, innocence, and political violence. The bull, horse, and light bulb create symbolic narrative. The painting remains the most powerful anti-war statement in modern art.
