Often after smart dinner parties, Picasso would have
Guernica wheeled out for his guests to enjoy.
At one such party, in 1946, amongst the guests was former Prime Minister Churchill. He was questioned as to whether the painting's shifting images and cubist structure set forth the truth about war. Churchill took a long draw on his cigar, and wandered along the length of the work......
Finally...."Sir, I can discern nothing in this painting other than bits of images that I may perceive hold some meaning. That is to say there is nothing set forth clearly by the painting, no truths at all that I perceive, and as such, I suppose it is an accurate statement of the truth about war. Yes I think so."
