Picasso’s Guernica depicts the suffering wrought by a German bombing in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War.
Three years later, when the artist was living in Nazi-occupied Paris, a Gestapo officer saw a photo of the painting in his apartment. “Did you do that?” he asked.
“No,” Picasso said. “You did.”

Day 17 — An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)
This is Guernica by Pablo Picasso. I would love nothing more than to see this beautiful piece of art in person (it’s 11ft tall by 25.6ft wide) and just stare at it. There is some serious history behind this, too, and I’m all up on that shit.
