	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 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.
		Below the dying horse in the centre of the painting is a concealed bull's head contained in the outline of the horse's buckled front leg.

	Guernica (painting) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guernica is one of the most famous paintings by Pablo Picasso, depicting the consequences of the bombing of Guernica.
		The choice to paint in fl and white contrasts with the intensity of the scene depicted and invokes the immediacy of a newspaper photograph.
		Between 1939 and 1952, the painting travelled extensively in the United States; between 1953 and 1956 it was shown in Brazil, at the first-ever Picasso retrospective in Milan, Italy, and then in numerous other major European cities, before returning to MOMA for a retrospective celebrating Picasso 's seventy fifth birthday.

	The last war picture
		Guernica was, it appears, commissioned by the sorely pressed Republican government in the thick of the Spanish Civil War.
		The painting is praised for the way in which it draws together manifold impulses which, acting by themselves as it were, had already led the painter's hand to draw very different sorts of picture.
		The suggestion is that Guernica records some bodily suffering which Picasso himself undergoes, in some empathetic way, "as he daily hears the news" of the war; and "what has happened to the bodies in being painted" is supposed to be "the imaginative equivalent of what has happened to them in sensation in the flesh".

		The difference between photographs and original paintings is that the painting allows the viewer to break through the "wall" and actually experience the feelings and emotions expressed in the painting.

	Yusuf Arakkal's Paintings
		As he researched for the Guernica series, he worked on computer generated images which were born out of a brush with newspaper headlines.
		This painting was the artist's reaction towards the horrific and unfortunate incidents that shook the Indian state of Gujarat last year, where a lot of human lives were lost.
		In restlessly moving from one subject matter to another, Arakkal tried to demonstrate that an artist's job is mainly to find a way to communicate by creating a language that is not exclusive to one set of individuals bound by religion, or community, or ideology, but one that can break through all these barriers.

		The painting was initially placed behind bullet-proof glass, and guards bearing machine-guns stood at its flanks to ensure its safety, but in the two decades since its arrival in Madrid, there has not been a single incident of vandalism or a threat to the security of the painting.
		With the kind of conservation and protection the painting could be provided by a museum like the Guggenheim, the ongoing appeal by the Basque government for a temporary exhibition of the painting in Bilbao might eventually be heard in Madrid.

		Picasso painting becomes anti-Iraq war symbol -!-!- Doree Shafrir -!-!- 2006/01/10 -!-!- The billboard-size "Guernica" has stood as a symbol of the horrors of war since Picasso painted it in 1937 at the height of the Spanish Civil War.
		Now, a Michigan artist is encouraging people across the country to put reproductions of the iconic painting--monochromatic figures of dead and dying men, women, children and animals after a bombing--on billboards as a statement against the war in Iraq.
