Pablo+Picasso

Pablo Picasso  The horrors of the Spanish Civil War can be seen through Pablo Picasso's paintings. Picasso, who was originally from Spain, was a Loyalist supporter. His paintings //Guernica// expresses his thoughts and feelings toward the bombing of the town of Guernica. Germany used the Spanish Civil War to try out new tactics and weapons that they would later use in WWII. Tactics such as aircraft and strategic bombing missions were tested, as was the carpet bombing of the market town on Guernica. In //Guernica//, Picasso used only grays, blacks, and whites to paint the distorted figures. His painting evokes feelings of death, gloominess, and sadness.
