I don't know how real it is, but the anecdote told is that one day a German soldier asks Picasso , "Did you do this?" picasso replies: "no, you did it".

In the period of fasist franco in spain in 1940,
the repression zone was strongly resisting franco.
thereupon franco asks for help from germany, more precisely from hitler ..
-
Come and bomb the basin!
In other words, he will bomb his own country on the Germans, upon which the world history,
bombing action with the first planes was done in this region ..

The title of this work, one of the most important paintings by p.picasso
guernica ...
what is described in this picture is very resonant and rightly so!
the Germans are so angry and the Germans take Picasso during the paris invasion
they catch and torture them ..
they also ask directly opposite his picture, which he named guernica;
'' Did you do this ? ''
Pablo Picasso replies .. - No.!. you.!..

“It only concerns what the things in my pictures are, not what they mean. If certain things in my paintings are given a certain meaning, it is pure coincidence, otherwise I have not made an attempt to convey that meaning. I paint a painting for itself, things for themselves. the meaning is hidden in my subconscious. in my painting there is no conscious propaganda purpose. guernica out of the picture ...

Picasso , exhibited in the reina sofia museum in madrid , and the museum's most valuable work. It is a large black and white painting, and there are many sketches in a large hall reserved for it. The artwork, which is disturbing enough even on its own, becomes even more startling when you reach through the drawing trials around it. The horse, bull, faces, figures in it were drawn separately and then put together in a composition, and all these experiments are on the way to Guernica of Reina Sofia.
When looked carefully, details such as the broken arm holding the broken sword, the flower on it, a bird in two different colors, the nipples of a mother holding her dead baby, the lines on the hands, the horseshoe can be noticed among the main figures such as the ox head, horse, oil lamp, light, scream.
I think the fact that it is black and white makes this work even more impressive. in spain "have you seen guernica?" Since he is asked a lot, expectation is created in people. I think the importance and respect given to this painting is an important point that reflects the Spanish reckoning with their history and at the same time their view of art. Franco's presence in Madrid is also important for Picasso's purpose in his art.
briefly guernica i think; contrary to the subjective and incomprehensible, apolitical and complex definitions of cubism , picasso - even modern art - it is an impressive piece of art's revolutionary aspect.

guernica is the little town that franco ' gifted ' to show its gratitude to hitler and was used to test bomber planes.

It is a very large picture, all in black and white and gray tones.

This is the work that did not attract much attention for reasons such as the opening of the Spanish stand 7 weeks late at the 1937 France International Fair and the mediaism of the sculptures made by the Germans and Russians, which seemed to attack each other. "I could not spoil a picture created by the emotions I have accumulated over the years, just for the sake of understanding."

guernica, the town where franco bombed the market one day with the planes rented from the Germans, and picasso is the picture that reflects this event.

The name of the table of Pablo Picasson, which has become the symbol of war opposition all over the world.

The table reaches international fame during the Second World War and after. guernica essentially describes the study of fascism.

Picasso is in France, where he went as a teenager, during the Spanish Civil War that ended with the victory of the fasist dictator franco. The republican government of Spain asks him to produce a work for an art fair to be held in Paris. Picasso cannot reveal anything until a town in Spain named guernica is bombed by fascist german aircraft supporting franco.

guernica was historically very important for the raids and, apart from being a culture town, was a region that was only civilian and had no military significance. An important part of the print legacy lies at this point, and until that time it is a geography far from the front.

Towards the end of April 1937, the Almannan warplanes bombed this area of zero military importance and left behind many dead, wounded, destroyed historical artifacts. It is later confirmed that everyone in the town was civilian and unarmed during the bombardment.

Pablo Picasso1, who was affected spiritually by this bombardment, which was in France at that time and caused a great reaction in the world, started his painting named guernica in May 1937. While trying to explain the massacre, he uses strange and inexplicable lines and colors when taken into account of the usual measurements. The first reaction of the republican government of spain is very negative in this regard. They even try to change the table. Perhaps because they are ashamed, they do not even include the painting in the promotional catalog of the international painting fair.

After the painting is finished, it still takes place in the Spanish pavilion of the fair. The colors used by Picasso and the incomprehensible lines make a very distasteful effect on those who look at the painting in which the savagery in Guernica is depicted. Of course at that time fasist Germany had not started the invasion of Europe yet and did not enter into mass killings yet.

Those who are startled by seeing this painting in the exhibition realize that after the massacres in question, this startle reaction is actually the painting itself.

The painting traveled around France until 1938 and was then exhibited in the New York Art Museum with the permission of Picasso. In 1975, Spain, still dignified by the dictator franco, demands the return of the painting. He slaps franco by tying the return of the painting to a democratic spain. guernica, finally, in 1981, after the 100th anniversary of Picasso, he was sent to the prague of spain freed from franco

guernica is still considered picasso's greatest masterpiece and is among the most important paintings in the world.

guernica mainly describes the study of fascism. There is also a very interesting anecdote that is mentioned at the completion of the table:

A Nazi commander enters the workshop where Picasso is trying to finish the painting, wondering about the painting, and looks at the painting, which is almost finished, with an emaciated expression,

"Did you do this?" he asks.

picasso froze to the nazi commander

"No sir, you did it," he replies.

Although I do not understand the painting at all, along with a few other pictures, it is one of the most disruptive images in my life. This is the painting Picasso has left to the Spanish people in his will, only to return to the country after the franco regime. After fasist management, he was able to return to his homeland. it is seen as one of the few items that will never be valued in the art world.

In April 1937, the fascist government in Spain drops bombs on the quaint oppression town of Guernica. It is one of the most painful scenes of the Spanish civil war and results in the deaths of thousands of civilians. Picasso's unique guernica painting is the immortalization of this event. it contains a lot of hidden images in the painting. cgjung emphasizes that these images that Picasso conceals in his paintings are underground characters. The guernica painting creates a mysterious source of power to deal with the brutality of death, with its whole and its images hidden within.
