Picasso's Guernica (1937)

My first reaction to Picasso's Guernica was overwhelming. In the left corner we see a distraught mother holding her dead baby. There's a lot of violence and chaos see with the other people. So much is going one in this painting that I feel like it's connects to the time Picasso painted it which was the after math of the bombing in 1937. The horse in the middle has a spear running through it. On the right we see a woman who has seen all this violence unfold and is shocked by it. Guernica is a landscape painting that includes many geometric shapes which at first seem difficult to sort out. Picasso uses mostly triangles with a black and white color scheme. Overall I think Picasso's work is interesting, mostly because he had the ability to incorporate geometric shapes and lines into his artworks.
