Guernica

Pablo Picasso's "Guernica" is one of my favorite master piece. Painted in 1937, by this spanish artist, it was keeped in many museums (like The Museum of Moder Art of New York) before it came to Spain

This work is a symbol of the crimes against the spanish people by the power and abuse of the dictator Franco who rules the country in that time. But it was the Republic of Spain who pay the paint.

The colors are in black and white and some greys, and his size is about 3,50 x 7,80 meters. It's very large, and complicated to interpret. If you see it carefuly, you will see many action in the canvas. Like for example: a black bull, who according to Picasso represent the brutality and darkness. There is a mother with a dead child in her hands, who represent the city of Madrid in the hands of Franco (very similar with the Piedad). There is a horse too, a dead soldier, a woman in knees, a house burning in flames, etc.

This remarcable work respresent for me, all the chaos in the world (not only Spain) in that time, the horrible of war and destruction, and how there are some people who dares to say "stop".
Besides, the art and style of Picasso it's really the best of the last century.
