Spanish Civil War Influence • Picasso's greatest surrealist painting, one of the great paintings of all time, was completed in the midst of the Spanish Civil War. • On April 26, 1937, German bombers had an aerial attack on the Basque town of Guernica. • Outraged by the bombing and the inhumanity of war, Picasso painted Guernica shortly thereafter, a surrealist testament to the horrors of war in black, white and grays. • Guernica remains one of the most moving and powerful antiwar paintings in history.
Frida Kahlo - Mexico • Considered one of Mexico's greatest artists, Frida Kahlo began painting after she was severely injured in a bus accident. • Kahlo later became politically active and married fellow communist artist Diego Rivera, twice. • Famous for painting her many personal tragedies such as miscarriages.
