Guernica feelings

The Guernica mural shows the anguish and despair that people suffered during the Civil War of Spain and more specifically during the bombing of Guernica. It makes me feel sad and angry at the same time, because you realize what the human being is capable to do to reach the power. There is no reason to cause this horror and death among innocent people, and what this amazing picture makes me feel is nothing but a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration. Picasso’s work is a claim against war, and the worst thing is that nowadays there are plenty of “Guernica scenes” all around the world because we have not learnt anything from the past. I would show this mural to every single leader of a country immersed on a war and make them reflect on the causes and impact on the population that they are supposed to protect.
