In its final form‚ Guernica is an immense black and white‚ 3.5 metre (11 ft) tall and 7.8 metre (23 ft) wide mural painted in oil. In creating Guernica‚ Picasso had no interest in painting the non-representational abstraction typical of some of his contemporaries‚ such as Kazimir Malevich.

TOO MANY NAMES CRITICAL APPRECIATION Neruda talks of continuity. The fabric of time is unending and cannot be cut with ‘weary scissors’. He says that the days are blurring together. He asks why we should have names which are made-up things. None of us really are from any countries which are made-up things‚ too.
