Guernica

Pablo Picasso was deeply troubled by the rise of fascism and its violence, preluded by the events of Guernica. The small Spanish city of Guernica was bombed during the Spanish Civil War by the forces of Hitler, Mussolini and Franco. Picasso decided to paint a mural to denounce the events of Guernica. The violence and tragedy in this artwork are extremely powerful.

Art has power. Over fifty years ago, my high school English teacher kept a print of Guernica on the chalkboard ledge. The Viet Nam War was raging on at that time. Mr. Byrne couldn't speak out against the war. He would have been fired. So he subtly told the class all about Picasso's painting, Guernica. He let us come to our own conclusions. He was a courageous man and one of the best teachers I've ever had. You're a great teacher as well. Thanks for The Canvas. I love it.

This video was excellent, insightful and well produced. Surprised you have so few subscribers, if this is your standard of quality expect that to change.

[@paulallen04105]

Totally agreed.

[@neharramona4851]

Thank you so much! In two days i'm having an exam which is determinating 5 years of my school carreer. All of a sudden i realized that i still had to study art and remembered these videos i've seen a while ago and really appreciated them. So here i am again, thanking you for your work and its high quality. I love the way you address every subject and went crazy for the unusual interpretation of Munch's scream. After this i'm watching Dali's percistence of memory🥰

[@valorant123]

[@jacobalvarez2443]

"Gernica" not "Gwernica"

[@peachyy6665]

Broken sword, flower hope
Asterisk on Hand
Tear shaped eyes on woman
Horse is wounded hidden image of bull and skull
The lightbulb symbolises technological advancements
The eye shape, god or audience is watching

[@varyafortier544]

The bull represents being slaughtered for no reason but for cruel entertainment -- ultimate power of the slaughterer.

[@HongNguyen-hl1dr]

Thank you for this informative video. I could show this video to show students age 10-13 about Picasso.

[@dudeinadoughboy4327]

Standard voice throughout the video:
That one word: _"Gwerrrrrrrrr-níka!"_

[@henrythekaktus]

On the bull you can see sketch marks from past iterations

The Guernica should go on a world tour again

[@alexanderdavydov79]

[@debasishchakrabarti4921]

Guernica expresses picasso,s concern about fascism

[@martiglesias60]

Bullshit. Its about the friend of his friend the bullfighter Mejias. Nothing else.
