What do you think was the chief motive behind the painting? We all know it was an anti-war painting but do you agree with the Soviet Union authorities who despised the painting, in spite of supporting the republicans during the Spanish civil war, because it was considered to be not realistic enough to convey a message. (They'd probably prefer a painting that had traces of social realism...)
Also how do you think the people are effected by the fact that the painting does not include any enemy soldiers but just suffering people? Is it just to show how modern warfare works or does it have an aesthetic or psychological purpose?
