Guernica
Picasso's monumental anti-war painting responds to bombing of Basque town during Spanish Civil War. Fragmented bodies, screaming horse, and bull create nightmarish chaos. The monochromatic palette suggests newsprint and death. The work explores violence, suffering, and war's horror. Guernica became twentieth century's most powerful political painting, universal symbol of war's devastation.
