The Forgotten Work


This is Picasso's forgotten work which was his artistic protest against the Korean War, called "Massacre in Korea." It is overshadowed by "Guernica," but it is just as haunting.

The reason I am posting this now, well, 56 year ago today, my materal grandmother's village was captured by the North Korean army. My maternal grandfather and all of my uncles were forced to flee into the mountains to avoid being summarily executed. My grandfather survived the war, but some of my uncles did not.
