Guernica, painted by Picasso in 1937 after the bombing of the Basque town during Spain’s Civil War, shows the horror, pain, and chaos of war. It became a universal symbol against violence, fascism, and anti-democratic brutality.

This is true both because they are at a tricky age, and also because the cohort itself is cursed. ⁠
