Pablo Picasso, Guernica, 1937 @museoreinasofiaI had seen the Guernica at MOMA when it resided there… then many years later I was lucky enough to see it again in its current home in Madrid at the Museo Reina Sofia… it had lost none of it poignancy with the passage of time, or the change of place or even my personal growth physically and psychologically. I brought back a poster of it for my teenage son, who was into video-games of war at the time… to bring home the reality of war… the horrors lived and felt by regular people. Now I can’t help but wonder if it would help to send a copy to politicians who lead us into hatred and war… the guerrilla fighters who kill innocent people in the name of liberty… to supposed “leaders” who will let others kill or be killed to stay in power… to opposition parties who can’t get pass their politics to unite and save a nation from tyranny… Would they be moved by this as I am? Or do people only see what they want to see… -- source link
