Political psychology studies the timeless human struggles depicted in Guernica

Evidence

The painting symbolizes man’s timeless struggle against tyranny, aggression, terrorism, war, corruption, nationalism, prejudice, and evil, and the image has been widely resurrected in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Guernica captures ancient human themes that are among the core topics addressed by the science of political psychology. — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 90

Categorization

• FICTION: The Guernica image as a recurring artistic memorial that resurfaces after later historical catastrophes is a usable motif for a story about art’s afterlives.
