The central triangle in the mural is balanced by the strong vertical emphasis of the right and left sides. On the far right, a woman screams as she falls through the floor of a burning building. On the far left, a woman holds her dead child and howls in pain. The intact figure of the bull looks upon the violence without emotion. According to the artist, the bull represents the power of “brutality and darkness.” The viewer is overwhelmed by the pain; there is no escape from hearing the horror.
Picasso said: “We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.” The attack on Guernica inspired the passion and genius of Pablo Picasso to reveal his truth about war: war is not about power and glory, war is about pain, suffering, and death. Although Guernica was created in 1937, the universal truth of the work transcends decades and borders. It is as powerful an iconic image in the Twenty-First Century, as in the Twentieth. Picasso’s Guernica insists that viewers remain overwhelmed by the horrors of war.
