Guernica was painted in black and white. the principal lines of energy form a triangle. In the center a wounded soldier, pierced by a spear, is crushed under a horse dying in agony. The left is dominated by an immovable bull, whose artistic and mythical origins date back to the minoan culture. This bull symbolizes power. The three women form a tragic chorus: the one on the left is falling into a house on fire, athe second is running away, and the third, a mother is screamiing with her dead child in her arms.
