-Picasso’s painting Guernica represents the essence of cubism. During the Spanish Civil war, the German
air force bombed the town of Guernica, the cultural center of the Basque region in 7 northern Spain and
a Loyalist stronghold. In only a few minutes on April 26, 1937, hundreds of men, women and children
were massacred in the deadly air strike.
3. What symbols in the painting that were mentioned in the text can be easily recognized by people?

mural about war, an audience that was trying to avoid the inevitable..

POST-TEST
The Mona Lisa Portrait gives a creepy vibe, research indicates that da Vinci uses an Optical Illusion that
been dubbed the “Uncatchable Smile”. The price is reasonable since it looks like realistic, one of a kind
and the one who painted it is none other done Leonardo da Vinci. Mona Lisa is a figure of a woman,
dressed in the fashion of her days known as Florentine fashion. Therefore her dressing represent class
and wealth. Other than the Mona Lisa Painting, there is the last Supper Panting, a mural painting in the
late 15th Century by the Italian Leonardo da Vinci. It is one of the western world most recognizable
paintings.
