NO PLAGIARISM!!!!!! 

Write a short essay (4-5 paragraphs) on Picasso's landmark work, Guernica.

First, thoughtfully analyze the painting yourself; how do you interpret it? What formal elements are used, and how?

Then, find information about the historical and cultural background of the painting. How did this background affect the painting, and what was Picasso's purpose for painting it? 

Finally, how does it fit in to Picasso's overall career, particularly his Cubism period?
