) In the first glance, I cannot determined what are the images that was painted in the mural, but as
I focused to the whole pictures, I can see the different images. And the image that caught my
attention are the 3 women in the right side of the horse,One rushes in, looking up at the stark light
bulb at the top of the scene. Another leans out of the window of a burning house, her long extended
arm holding a lamp, while the third woman appears trapped in the burning building, screaming in
fear and horror. Because, I can't imagine that these are women, because their faces are distorted.

2.) For me, the most significant or the main image/s is/are the horse and the bull. Because for me,
Picasso used this figure as the symbolism of brutality and the injustice that happen in the town of
Guernica..

The foreground images are the people who are massacared.

Picasso used this kind of arrangement enable to balance the idea and thoughts of the painting.

They are interconnected with each other. As I said a while ago, the bull and horse are symbolizes as
the German people who bombed the Guernica that caused hundred of men,women, and children
were massacred.And those distorted images such as the mother who handed her dying baby, the
men who has the sword, and the three women.

3.) At first, the images is hard to understand, but when you observe it clearly it depicts lot of things
which is have something to expressed. I think the underscored image is the image of one of the
woman in the right side of the horse,because of the white color that makes it underscored. And for
the exaggerated or the idealized image is the woman who's holding the lamp near the bulb because
of its potraition, because her hand is only the visible, and because of the other women who is
glancing at the window, we can interpret that they're one image but actually it is two.

4.) According to Picasso, black and white represent the aura of newspaper especially in the body of
horse. Aside from the image of horse, other images are black and white that I think black represent
brutality, horrible and terror war, while white represents innocent and good people who suffers the
bombing airforce strike of German.
