Girl Before a Mirror Completed: 1932 Where to see it: Museum of Modern Art (New York) If there's a single painting that screams Picasso, this might be the one.Girl Before a Mirror is alive with color, pathos and charming shapes that take cubism to its extremes.Picasso said he preferred this painting to any of the others, according to MOMA's founding director, Alfred H．Barr Jr. Guernica Completed: 1937 Where to see it: Museo Reina Sofia (Madrid) Guernica is Picasso's best-known work.Its depiction of an aerial bombing attack on the Basque town of Guernica in April 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, was a visual prelude (序曲) to coming violent act of World War Ⅱ.The muted tones of gray further emphasize the shapes of humans, their arms outstretched in extreme pain.Guernica has become one of the most recognizable anti-war paintings in history. 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了毕加索最著名的几幅画。 1．Where can we see The Old Guitarist?
