	Picasso's Secret Guernica
		Guernica has been the subject of more books than any other work in modern art and it is often described as..."the most important work of art of the twentieth century", yet its meanings have to this day eluded some of the most renowned scholars.
		The Crocodile and the Harlequin are common characters in Punch and Judy shows, their inclusion in Guernica stems from Picasso's love of puppetry which began before the turn of the century in Barcelona where he saw many such shows and even helped produce them with Pere Romeu at Els Quatre Ghats.
		The preoccupying theme of Guernica is of course death; reinforcing this, in the centre of the painting is a hidden skull which dominates the viewer's subliminal impressions.

		The total number of deaths caused by the bombardment of Guernica was considerable in absolute numbers, but in proportional terms could only be described as extremely high.

		The destruction of Guernica was carried out by German aircraft, manned by German pilots, at the request of the Spanish Nationalist commander, General Emilio Mola.
		Guernica is the most powerful invective against violence in modern art, but it was not wholly inspired by the war: its motifs -- the weeping woman, the horse, the bull, had been running through Picasso's work for years before Guernica brought them together.
		Apart form the late Cubist style, the only specifically modern elements in Guernica are the Mithraic eye of the electric light, and the suggestion that the horse's body is made of parallel lines of newsprint, like the newspaper in Picasso's collages a quarter of a century before.

	Hidden Treasures - What's so controversial about Picasso's Guernica? By David Cohen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Guernica is a mural, 11 feet 6 inches high and 25 feet 8 inches wide, which commemorates the aerial bombardment—and obliteration—of the ancient Basque town of 5,000 inhabitants by German and Italian squadrons on April 26, 1937.
		A modern history painting, Guernica self-consciously draws on archetypal forms the artist was exploring at the time: bulls, horses, melancholy women—particularly Spanish themes that were nonetheless classical and universal.
		The continuing sensitivity to Guernica exemplified by the U.N. cover-up may remind us that modern art is poor in images glorifying just military action, though rich in images of the horrors and injustices of war.

		Guernica's visual imagery -- a screaming horse which had fallen, pierced by a lance; a wailing woman holding a dead child in her arms; another woman, her clothes on fire, attempting to escape from a burning building; the severed head of a soldier -- spoke not specifically to a terrible day in Spain.
		I was in Madrid on 11 September2001, observing Guernica and researching its history for a book, when, across the Atlantic -- and as had occurred in the town of Guernica 64 years before -- the city of New York fell under an utterly new kind of warfare.
		And the painting Guernica, long a potent symbol of opposition to war and violence around the globe, already seems less immediately reflective of that unimaginable morning in New York little more than year ago than it is of what soon may occur in Iraq.
