It's the ONLY Picasso of that phase of his which I like.

You really have to see the original, Bruce. It is more than life size. Do you know what happened at Guernica? On April 27, 1937, Adolf Hilter’s air force bombed the Basque village of Guernica for target practice. It was a market day. Approximately 1,654 people were murdered and 889 injured. (Statistics from an article about the painting.) Maybe this painting makes more sense to a resident of Bagdad. I wonder how many of them think we are less barbaric than the Germans.
