Picasso's War: The Destruction of Guernica and the Masterpiece That Changed the World Paperback - 2003
by Russell Martin
In Picasso's War, Russell Martin weaves politics, history, art, and science into a stirring narrative of the monumental canvas that was to become the most important artwork of the 20th century. Pablo Picasso, enraged by Hitler's bombing of Guernica in Northern Spain on April 26, 1937, responded to the devastation in his homeland by beginning work on Guernica. In Picasso's War, Martin follows Guernica, the renowned masterwork, across decades and continents, crafting an engrossing story of a its impassioned creation and the struggle to find hope in the face of unspeakable acts of terror.
First line
It was an enormous canvas, so large that Picasso needed a ladder and brushes strapped to sticks in order to paint its heights, a canvas so grand that he had little doubt of its ability to captivate the citizens of the world who would see it exhibited beside the Seine in only a few weeks' time.
