Guernica, Picasso. 1937.
I’ve been thinking about this work a lot lately and how powerful it really is.
So glad I’ve gotten the chance to see it in person at Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid 🇪🇸

One of the coolest things I saw at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam - his box of wool for coming up with color combinations! He used this to avoid wasting expensive paint.
