Oil Painting during Times of Disaster


A familiar Spanish painter of the time, Picasso was asked to produce a piece of art to decorate the Spanish Pavilion in the Paris World Fair in 1937. Responding to the attack by means of his painting, he created a large mural depicting the horror of the bombing of Guernica that he titled Guernica.

The painting has become a fascination not only for the sensation it portrays, but also for the symbolism and hidden meanings throughout the massive mural and focusing on the secret images within the mural and how they allow the painting to delve even further into the horrors of war.


From the paintings influences creeping through all kinds of art created during airplane crash. This shows how it badly gets affected and people might be troubled. Otto Dix was an expressionist from Germany whose paintings spoke loudly of the terror of war and the living conditions of the time.
