Impression of Guernica

I looked at the way Picasso worked on his painting of Guernica, i found it to be a very detailed and creative image. The main way in which he was influenced by this was the bombing of Guernica, so in a way Picasso's work can link in with the work which i have been doing on the way in which the government influences art; this is because it would have been a decision made by the government of Germany and Italy to bomb the town of Guernica and for the military to bomb a site they need to be given the "green light" so to speak before bombing a site.Also it relates to the government in another way, as they commissioned the mural for the display at the World's fair 1937.
