朝鲜大屠杀
Annessa Chan:
A group of faceless soldiers point their guns at four women and four children in clear distress. They stand naked and helpless in a barren landscape, making their fear and vulnerability even more poignant.
Massacre in Korea was a response to the Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953. Key to the Cold War, the eastern bloc comprised of the Soviet Union and Communist China backing North Korea, while the western bloc led by the United States supported South Korea. In 1944, Picasso joined the Communist Party of France in response to the rise of fascism in his native Spain. This painting serves as a protest against the violence unfolding on the other side of the globe.
Picasso rarely painted current events. To help him address the subject, he drew inspiration from iconic European paintings, including Francisco Goya’s The Third of May 1808 and Édouard Manet’s The Execution of Maximilian. This is one of Picasso’s few known works that directly references Asia. In fact, Picasso never even travelled outside Europe. He likely relied on photos from newspapers covering the war as a reference.
During this period, newspapers began printing in colour. Eager to share his anti-war message, Picasso intended for this work to be seen both as a painting and a printed image, depicting the figures in black and white against a coloured background. The painting remains a powerful testament to the devastating impact of war.
