Pablo Picasso was commissioned by the Spanish government to commemorate the Nazi Germany bombing of Guernica, Spain, during the Spanish Civil War in 1937. The result is Guernica, a black and white painting that depicts the suffering and brutality of war.

Fast forward to 2008, where Lena Gieseke turned Picasso’s Guernica mural into 3-D for her degree in computer animation from the University of Georgia.
