Answer:
Art is usually a form of “cultural document” when it is Historically significant.
Pablo Picasso’s Guernica is an exemplary political statement and a Cultural Document. It was painted as the artists’ reaction to the Nazi's totally devastating, yet casual destruction as mere “target practice” of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. Even though some radical extremists would like to spread the false rumor that this never happened; Picasso’s masterpiece stands as testament to the reality of the Spanish Civil War, keeping it in the world's consciousness.
