Being a pioneer in cubism and a major contributor to surrealism and expressionism, Picasso didn’t let this chance to do something amazing slip by. He used the mural to convey an anti-war message and used surreal imagery to drive that message home. If we view the mural from left to right, the first image show is that of a bull. The bull has a dark body and a white head, with the look of pure terror. It is clear to see that the animal was placed there to further signify the brutality and darkness of what had happened. This point was also confirmed by Picasso
