    NEW YORK.- The "Guernica" work by Pablo Picasso at the entrance of the Security Council of the United Nations has been covered with a curtain. The reason for covering this work is that this is the place where diplomats make statements to the press and have this work as the background.
    isnt that the whole point of the painting to warn peoples about the horrors of the war especially in a time like this. this is a very stupid move by the UN. i feel that political correctness is killing the expression of thought and mind especially now in the art world where certain themes are too risky.
