I have never studied Picasso but I fail to see why non Spanish people would desire to destroy the painting, after all the people of Guernica were killed by no reason of their own - they were not terrorists or oppressors, they did no harm to anyone. From what understand Picasso wanted the painting to awaken the world to what was going on in Spain - and I believe it helped in doing just that.

How do you know?

Picasso: "While it is being done, it changes as one's thoughts change. And when it's finished, it goes on changing, according to the state of mind of whoever is looking at it."
