Answer 1

The three artists present the Spanish civil war as something uncomfortable, but that has to be faced and observed by humanity. However, each artist represents this differently.

In Pablo Picasso's painting, you can see:

• The artist decided to portray the chaos in a city after a bombing.
• He was inspired by the bombing of the city of Guernica.
• The artist used monochromatic colors, simulating the color of the wreckage and simulating the colors of a photograph in newspapers at the time.
• The attista decided to show the military power of a war, while portraying people suffering and Spanish symbols amidst the wreckage.

In the painting by David Alfaro Siqueiros, it is possible to see:

• The artist focuses on the misery caused by war.
• He highlights the existence of orphaned children without any conditions of survival.
• He shows how war is capable of creating countless miserable and invalid people.
• He highlights how these people live in unending suffering.

In Salvador Dali's painting, it is possible to see:

• He shows how war causes the self-destruction of a nation, in this case Spain.
• He emphasizes this through a gigantic creature destroying itself high.
• He shows how destruction, death and starvation are the only things that stand out in a war.
• It reinforces the feeling of agony and loss.

With this, we can conclude that art is directly related to the events that happen in the world, allowing artists to express their feelings and provoke reflections, even if these reflections are too cruel.
