On the first of May 1937, Picasso read George Steer's moving eyewitness account of the bombing of Guernica on April 26 by German bombers. Then he started sketches for the painting known as Guernica. Upon completion, Guernica was displayed at the World's Fair in Paris, where it was initially negatively received. After the World's Fair, Guernica was displayed on a 19-year tour throughout Europe and North America in order to raise consciousness about the threat of fascism and raise funds for Spanish refugees.
Guernica has become famous because of its powerful portrayal of universal suffering caused by war. It has become an iconic anti-war symbol and one of the most powerful anti-war paintings in history. The painting is an enormous mural-sized oil painting on canvas. It is about eleven feet tall and twenty-five feet wide. The color palette Picasso chose is a somber monochrome palette of black, white, and gray.
From the beginning, Picasso chooses not to represent the horror of Guernica in realist or romantic terms. Key figures, including a woman with outstretched arms, a bull, an agonized horse, are refined in sketch after sketch. "A painting is not thought out and settled in advance," said Picasso. "While it is being done, it changes as one's thoughts change."
It is hard to know the exact meaning of the tortured figures because it is a hallmark of Picasso's work that a symbol can hold many, often contradictory meanings. By its use of imagery and symbolism, it conveys the horrors of war in a way that strikes at the hearts of viewers without creating revulsion.
What is mentioned about the painting Guernica in paragraph 1?
- It was mostly disapproved of by viewers when first displayed in Paris.
- It was painted for the sake of refugees who needed financial support.
- It was created during an intense period of bombing in Germany.
- It was exhibited among European countries for nearly 20 years.
What is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2?
- The message of Guernica
- The subject of Guernica
- The origin of Guernica
- The description of Guernica
What did Picasso mean by “While it is being done, it changes as one's thoughts change.”?
- The painting has not been finished because its creator's thoughts still keep changing.
- The painting is still being worked on and adapted to the dynamic thoughts of viewers.
- The painting will never be completed on account of non-stop changes in viewers' thoughts.
- The painting was constantly adjusted in keeping with its creator's changing thoughts.
