Consider Picasso's Guernica and Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People. Discuss the stories behind each of the works, paying particular attention to the political and social messages that each artist wished to convey.

What will be an ideal response?

Picasso's Guernica was a response to the violence of war unleashed against ordinary citizens. He employed symbolic imagery to portray the horrors of the event. Delacroix's Liberty conveyed his support for the Revolution of 1830 and personified Liberty herself as a Greek statue.
