Guernica

This picture represents the pain produce by a war. I studied this one the last year and I had to make a formal commentary about it, but this time I prefer to say what I feel when I see it.

It is overwhelming. When I look at the picture I don’t know where I should be looking.  It transmits me a strong sorrow when I see the mother holding her baby’s body, the angry look of the horses; and I can even imagine myself in that room, breathing the smoke, staining my barefoot with the ash on the floor.

The colors used in its elaboration let me see in detail how strong could be the feelings of the painter when he made it, and how sad he was about this topic. It is also reflected in the way he mix the image of the characters what, talking in a non-professional way, express how confusing should be for the living beings  what was happening there.
