Answer 2

Answer:

a. He wanted to show the atrocities of war and evils of Fascism.

Explanation:

   Guernica is a work of the Spanish painter and cubist Pablo Picasso. It depicts the bombing of the city of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).

    The work carries a strong criticism of German fascism and was created for the Paris International Exhibition. This is because at the time Pablo Picasso was living in France.

    The artist was already working on another work to exhibit at the event. However, the attack on Guernica so affected him that he decided to change his mind, and so came one of the most iconic works in the history of world art.
