Guernica by Pablo Picasso

Guernica by Pablo Picasso Pablo Picasso created a masterpiece to convey the negative effects of war by recreating a real event. Guernica is a city that the Germans bombed during the Spanish Civil War. The bombing occurred on April 27, 1937. Nazi forces bombarded Guernica without caring that it held no strategic military value. Picasso's painting is based on the events of April 27, 1937, when Hitler's powerful German air force, acting in support of Franco, bombed the village of Guernica in northern Spain, a city of no strategic military value. It was history's first aerial saturation bombing of a civilian population. #art #create #creative #artist #arttip #arttips #creativeflair #guernica #picasso #pablopicasso
