Resources

Guernica

Pablo Picasso was a famous 20th-century Spanish artist.  One of his most well-known surreal paintings, Guernica, was painted in 1937, and now is located in the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, in Madrid, Spain.  Guernica depicts the bombing of a Spanish Basque town called Guernica by fascist forces during the Spanish Civil War, and it symbolizes war’s horrors.
