why did picasso paint guernica and what mediums did he use to paint his cubist paintings?

Question

it is for a project

Answer 1

As a memorial to the Spanish Civil war, and I think he used oils.

Answer 2

The town of Guernica was destroyed from the air in the Spanish Civil War by the Fascists. This was the first time a town was destroyed from the air. Picasso painted the picture to show the world the horrors of war and the menace of Fascism. Of course he was a Communist and this huge painting was propaganda art. It shows how art can be used for propaganda purposes. Picasso mostly used oil paint for his cubist paintings. But sometimes he used real objects for his cubist collages like newspaper, labels, etc. I hope that this has been a help to you.
