Throughout this past semester, in my Spanish 401 Senior Seminar Class, I researched for and wrote a paper investigating the ways that Guernica (1937), a painting by Pablo Picasso, has remained relevant throughout history. In the oral presentation, I will give a brief history of the event that led to the creation of the artwork, state a thesis, and relate key historical moments in the life of Guernica to the present day. Specifically, I will tell how its first appearance at the World Fair in Paris in 1937 resulted in Guernica being seen as ugly and as a weapon against those it exposed. I will explain to the audience how its ugliness is key in our contemporary society and how the painting continues to be a weapon in the 21st century. In the next part of the presentation, I will state what appropriation art is, how it was impactful in the 1960s for Guernica, and how it has been relevant in our modern times.
