Paplo Picasso's Guernica is a work of art and not propaganda. The definition of propaganda is rumors that are spread on purpose to hurt a person or group, so Pablo Picasso's Guernica is not really a painting of propaganda because, it is not a rumor or something tht he spread.
In the picture the people are obviously in terror and they seem very scared. The horse that you see also seems to be scared for it's life. Some of the people seem to be holding knives and in very excrutiating pain. The animal's figures seem to be messed up. The bull is very odd looking with it's horns on the side of it's head instead of being centered on the top of it's head. The people in this picture are just suffering.
The day guernica was bombed terror struck the town. The town contained about 5,000 to 7,000 people. The bombing took place for over three hours. It took place on a monday and that was the towns market day. After the massacre herds of horses, cows, and sheep were found slaughtered. Over 700 building lay in ruins all the worth of the building was also gone. The city was in ruins. The bombing was important because that was what Pablo Picasso based his picture on .
