About this product

Product Information

A heartfelt and excitingly original look at Picasso's great painting, GUERNICA - the tragedy by which it was inspired, the story of its creation and the emergence of its role as both a symbol of the Spanish Civil War and a universally recognised image of the horror of war. On 26 April 1937, the Basque town of Guernica in northern Spain was bombed by Hitler's Luftwaffe on behalf of Francisco Franco as he waged a bloody civil war. Twenty-four hours later, the village lay in ruins, its population decimated. This act of terror - the first large-scale attack against civilians in modern warfare - outraged the world, and one man in particular. Pablo Picasso, an expatriate living in Paris, responded to the devastation in his homeland by beginning work on GUERNICA, a painting many consider the greatest artwork of the twentieth century. Weaving themes of politics, art, war and morality, and featuring some of the twentieth century's most memorable and infamous figures, Russell Martin follows this renowned masterpiece across decades and continents. From Europe to America and, finally, back to Spain, PICASSO'S WAR sheds light on the conflict that was an ominous prelude to World War II

  • Art as a means to convey political reasoning.

    A revelation to the layman who is interested in the history and facts concerning the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish civil war and how Picasso used his talent to show though art the atrocities of war. The paintings interpretation is universal and timeless and can be attributed to all worldwide conflict even to this day
