Guernica was a piece which intertwines with the Spanish Civil war, it was a small town which was bombed during this war and many civilians died during this bombing. This is Pablo Picasso's interpretation of the events which unfolded at the time, although Picasso was not often influenced by war or suffering (at least in my opinion) this shows exactly what he thought would be an accurate representation of the incident. It is debatable that this is a biased painting as Picasso himself was Spanish so this may have effected him as much as it affected the people of Guernica.
