- How do these visual elements contribute to the strength of the political message?
- What figures did he include and how did he depict them? (for example, why include a mother and child? a dying soldier? a horse? a bull?)
- How might these figures be symbolic to Picasso both personally and politically?
Lastly, talk about the reaction of the work personally and regarding his contemporaries:
- What did Picasso’s contemporaries say about Guernica?
- How does the painting make you feel?
