Picasso’s Guernica depicts the suffering wrought by a German bombing in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. Three years later, when the artist was living in Nazi-occupied Paris, a Gestapo officer saw a photo of the painting in his apartment. “Did you do that?” he asked. “No,” Picasso said. “You did.” From the very excellent Futility Closet http://www.futilitycloset.com/
