Ben Shahn was a Lithuanian born American artist. He is known for his works of social realism, his political views, and lectures.

Explanation:

When Shahn was only four years old, his socialist father was exiled to Siberia because the Russian government suspected he was a revolutionary. Shahn remembered launching his own sort of protest as a child when he would shout “Down with the Czar!” at anyone wearing a uniform.Pablo Picasso strengthened the effect of suffering in Guernica by the use of black and white and gray paint. No colors are seen, much like after a real bombing when everything is covered in dust and ash. He also used the expressions of the people and animals to strengthen the effect. People on the canvas look about them with open mouths; they are either gasping or crying in pain. The horse is being run through with a javelin, and it is clearly in pain.
