What was the influence of the guernica painting?

Answer 1

Picasso's painting of Guernica, created in 1937, initially received extremely negative reactions. It was dismissed as a hodgepodge of body parts, something a toddler could have painted, or the dream of a madman.

Answer 2

Picasso's famous painting, Guernica, captures an atrocity committed during the civil war between General Franco and his Fascists, and Spanish Republicans. In 1937, Nazi allies of Franco bombed the undefended town of Guernica, virtually leveling it. Picasso painted Guernica as a protest against these actions.

Answer 3

I do not think it changed the world. But it opened the eyes of many people to the atrocities of war.

Answer 4

Some people found it strange and incomprehensible, others were moved by its depiction of violence and suffering.
