Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 25 to 29.
On the first of May Picasso read George Steer's moving eyewitness account of the bombing of Guernica
on April 26 by German bombers and immediately changed course and started sketches for what would become
the world-famous painting - and probably Picasso's most famous work - known as Guernica. Upon completion,
Guernica was displayed at the World's Fair in Paris, where it was initially negatively received. After the
World's Fair, Guernica was displayed on a tour that lasted 19 years throughout Europe and North America in
order to raise consciousness about the threat of fascism and raise funds for Spanish refugees.
Guernica has become famous because of its powerful portrayal of universal suffering caused by war. It
has become and iconic anti-war symbol and one of the most powerful anti-war paintings in history. The painting
is an enormous mural-sized oil painting on canvas. It is about eleven feet tall and twenty-five feet wide. The
color palette Picasso chose is a somber monochrome palette of black white, and gray, emphasizing the starkness
of the scene as well as perhaps referring to the media representation of war.
From the beginning, Picasso chooses not to represent the horror of Guernica in realist or romantic terms.
Key figures, including a woman with outstretched arms, a bull, an agonized horse, are refined in sketch after
sketch before being transferred to the capacious canvas, which he also reworks several times. “A painting is not
thought out and settled in advance,” said Picasso. “While it is being done, it changes as one’s thoughts change.
And when it’s finished, it goes on changing, according to the state of mind whoever is looking at it.”
It is hard to know the exact meaning of the tortured figures and images in the painting because it is a
hallmark of Picasso’s work that a symbol can hold many, often contradictory meanings. When asked to explain
his symbolism, Picasso remarked,” It isn’t up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise, it would be better
if he wrote them out in so many words! The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they

3
understand them.” By its use of imagery and symbolism, it conveys the horrors of war in a way that strikes at
the hearts of viewers without creating revulsion. It is a painting that is hard to look at, but also hard to turn away
from.

C. The painting will never be completed on account of non-stop changes in viewers’ thoughts.
