When "Massacre in Korea" was exhibited in the May Salon of 1951, it was doubly controversial. Not only that painting was criticized by the US, but was also criticized within the French Communist Party for not conforming to the socialist realist style. They found "Massacre in Korea" too abstract and lacking emotional appeal as compared with "Guernica."

From this point of time, several doubts were raised for me. First of all, I wonder why this painting was criticized by the US. Is this because he was a member of the Communists or because he really was anti-American as rumored? But the weird thing is that this painting was actually erased from publications in South Korea and Japan under the control of American power, and was prohibited by government for public display until the 1990s in Korea. The American regime feared that "Massacre in Korea" portrayed an image of American violence against innocent Koreans. There have been some opinions voiced that the painting was based on a massacre of Korean civilians by US forces at No Gun Ri on 26-29 July 1950.

In 1953, a Japanese publisher named Sojusha used the image on the cover of a book, which alleged the American military used viruses during the Korean War. In Korea,

What is a peice of propogada what is said here is false. Picaso was a communist and probaly anti American.
