The Charnel House
''The Charnel House'' (French: ''Le Charnier'') is a 1944–1945 oil and charcoal on canvas painting by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, which is purported to deal with the Nazi genocide of the Holocaust. The black and white 'grisaille' composition centres on a massed pile of corpses and was based primarily upon film and photographs of a slaughtered family during the Spanish Civil War. It is considered to be Picasso's second major anti-war painting, the first being the monumental ''Guernica'' (1937), although it is smaller than its predecessor and unfinished. The painting is housed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Background This painting is considered to be an anti-war statement, yet Picasso was largely apolitical until the Spanish Civil War. His art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler said that he had been the "most apolitical man" he had ever known. The Spanish Civil War caused Picasso to become more concerned with politics, which led to the creation of his first ant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
