Thanks for showing us that, Nathan. It’s a bit difficult to discern the
content – I thought initially that the large object was a broken cross – and it
took me a few minutes to discover that you had translated “Shoah”, but
misspelled “disgrace”. I found a Spanish description which translates “Shoah”
as “gran disgracia”.
His art is not the sort that I would seek out, going by some of the examples
that I found on the Internet, but that Guernica is certainly a powerful piece
and this one seems to evoke similar outrage.
