1937年西班牙内战其间，德国战机应西班牙国民军政府的要求，向巴斯克城市格尔尼卡猛烈轰炸，造成严重伤亡。毕加索激于义愤，绘画了这有如炼狱般的惨状，着火的房子，惊惶失措的人畜，嚎哭的丧子之母，控诉着战争的残暴。为此，毕加索与独裁者佛朗哥决裂，流亡至巴黎，老死不还乡。这幅画原本收藏于美国大都会博物馆，佛朗哥Franco死后，遵毕加索遗言重返故国。 1936年，毕加索担任共和政府任命的普拉多美术馆名誉馆长期间，为保护艺术珍品，作出了自己的贡献。1937年初，他创作了蚀刻画《佛朗哥的梦和谎言》。这是一组连环漫画式的版画，共有18个画面，另加一首隐晦的、丑化佛朗哥的题诗。画家通过出售这组画的复制品将售款捐作共和政府的救济金。就在创作这组作品时，发生了"4月26日事件"。因此，这组画中的最后4个画面，与日后创作的Guernica《格尔尼卡》有关密切的联系。组画中的公牛在最后的画面中，抵伤了象征佛朗哥的马形怪物。该组画被复制后，法国当局作为宣传品，用飞机将其散发到了佛朗哥占领区。在此前不久，毕加索曾受委托为普拉多美术馆创作一幅大型壁画，作为该年夏季在巴黎召开的万国博览会中西班牙馆的装饰画。在他还未构思的时候，发生了骇人听闻的"4月26日事件"。这就是德国法西斯的空军，悍然轰炸了西班牙北部巴斯克的重镇格尔尼卡，造成了和平居民的伤亡。当这一消息传到巴黎后，愤怒的毕加索怀着"对那把西班牙沈浸在痛苦与死亡的海洋中的好战集团的厌恶和鄙视"，立即以这一事件为题材，只用了6个星期的时间，于6月5日创作完成了351×782厘米的巨幅壁画《格尔尼卡》。该画以后期立体主义语言表现了战争带给人类的灾难，鞭鞑了法西斯。该画在巴黎亮相后，受到了广泛的关注。1938年，它还在挪威、英国、美国等进行了巡回展出。在德国占领法国期间，毕加索不向德国法西斯低头、不为利诱所动，表现了高尚的民族气节。表示以自己的绘画作为『抵抗和打击敌人的战斗武器』。

在一年的时间里，我们跟随挪威艺术家维比约恩·桑德（Vebjørn Sand）筹备他的展览“格尔尼卡（Guernica）：一个转折点”。在此过程中，他前往1937年遭受袭击的格尔尼卡的一些地点，与幸存者见面，并为他的作品开展研究。与毕加索（Picasso）著名的《格尔尼卡》画作相比，维比约恩希望以写实和具象的方式呈现轰炸场景。
