According to Picasso, what does the bull that appears in his monumental 1937 painting Guernica represent?

A 25-foot-wide painting in black, white, and gray features distorted and dismembered humans and animals in extreme pain. The figures overlap, and they are rendered as flat planes with almost no modeling. In the upper-left, a bull stands over a screaming woman. Below them, a figure lies on the ground, arms outstretched, one hand holding a broken sword. The figure’s eyes are positioned at odd angles on the same side of his head. In the center background, a horse rears up, bares its teeth, and flares its nostrils. On the right, a man kneels, throws up his arms, and screams toward the sky.
