So...Guernica. Picasso painted his masterpiece out of the angst and grief he felt of the Guernica slaughter in Basque Country by two fascists: Hitler and Franco. Gee, what artist is going to paint this current fascist regime of the downfall of American democracy??!!
(I've seen this painting at the Prada, when I lived in Madrid, which is located in a large room all by itself. For me, it was like stepping into the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican or into the arena of The Army of Terracotta Warriors in Xian. You KNOW you are in the presence of GENIUS. )
