【轉貼wiki】：Guernica is a painting by Pablo Picasso. It was created in response to the bombing of Guernica, Basque Country, by German and Italian warplanes at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist forces, on 26 April 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish Republican government commissioned Picasso to create a large mural for the Spanish display at the Paris International Exposition at the 1937 World‘s Fair in Paris.
Guernica shows the tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon individuals, particularly innocent civilians. This work has gained a monumental status, becoming a perpetual reminder of the tragedies of war, an anti-war symbol, and an embodiment of peace. On completion Guernica was displayed around the world in a brief tour, becoming famous and widely acclaimed. This tour helped bring the Spanish Civil War to the world‘s attention.
1937年畢卡索完成《格爾尼卡》，批判西班牙佛朗哥發動內戰的反人道作為──當時納粹德國受佛朗哥之託，對西班牙的格爾尼卡城進行了人類史上第一次地毯式轟炸，畢卡索受西班牙政府委託在巴黎世博的西班牙區繪製一幅裝飾性的畫，這幅著名的油畫作品讓他贏得二十世紀【反戰畫家】的美名。
【轉貼】：二戰期間，有一個德國軍官走進了畢卡索的公寓，發現了桌子上的《格爾尼卡》，於是就上前欣賞。
當他看到了畫上那些飽受德國納粹蹂躪的人時，這個軍官生氣地問畢卡索：「這是你弄的？」
畢卡索諷刺地回答說：「不，這是你弄的。」
