Guernica

Geurnica Pablo Picasso.

Guernica is a painting by Pablo Picasso. It is a painting of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian war planes in the Spanish Civil war. The medium is oil and canvas and the dimensions are 349 cm × 776 cm (137.4 in × 305.5 in). Shapes in black and white are being applied to show a dark event. Why do I like this?? I Guernica because it is very simplistic. It uses shape and shades of black and white to show dark and tragic event. It is very abstract and it shows that a piece doesn't need to be photo-realistic to convey emotion and intrigue.
