Art is a phenomenon that is as old as human history and exists with humans. The basis of art is the human-specific feeling of searching for beauty. In this sense, art is an effort to create beauty. The starting point of all arts is realities that exist outside of us. Picasso is one of the founders of cubism and it is known that he closely followed many artists and art movements before him and his contemporaries. He researched the works of previous and contemporary artists, art movements, and artistic approaches of different cultures, and developed the cubism school as a result of this knowledge. Many books have been written, many researches have been done and many theses have been written about the life of Pablo Picasso. This study includes a research and analysis about "Guernica", one of the most well-known works of Picasso, a Spanish artist. Picasso's popular work "Guernica", dated 1937, received significant criticism from the moment it was exhibited in Paris, which will take its place in art history. It can be said that Picasso's handling of this work, one of the founders of modern art, stemmed from his human values rather than his artistic sensitivity.
