Guernica: Picasso's Rage and Reflections on Human War
About This Novel
"Guernica" is one of Picasso's most famous works. This painting was born in a specific era and had its own special mission - to cheer for the Spanish Republic overseas. It uses unique Bi-style elements to abstractly show the pain that war brings to life, but does not more specifically show the specific event and place for which it was born - the Basque town Guernica that was bombed by Nazi Germany after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Because of this, "Guernica" was not forgotten by history with the failure of the Spanish Republic. Instead, it was constantly reawakened by new historical events and gradually ascended to the altar, becoming an eternal anti-war symbol. In this book, James Attlee provides us with an in-depth analysis of the origins of this masterpiece, the social and cultural significance behind it, and how it has influenced countless modern artists and has been endowed with eternal value in the ever-changing social landscape.
