Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881-1973)'s "Massacre in Korea" is coming to Korea for the first time in more than half a century after the late master painted it in 1951 in his protest against indiscriminate killing of hundreds of South Korean civilian refugees by U.S. soldiers at the height of the Korean War (1950-53).
"The Massacre in Korea in 1951" depicting "Korean women and children being butchered by white men" is currently hung at the National Picasso Museum (Musee Picasso) situated in the heart of Paris.
"Massacre in Korea" has never achieved the iconic status of the earlier Guernica (1937), which is perhaps modern art's most powerful antiwar statement created by the most well-known artist in the 20th century.
