Críticas
'With GUERNICA, Picasso writes our letter of doom: all that we love is going to be lost, and that is why it is necessary that we gather up all that we love, like the emotions of great farewells, in something of unforgettable beauty' Michel Leiris, French poet, after seeing the painting first displayed in June 1937
Reseña del editor
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 and delivers an unforgettable portrait of a genius whose visionary statement about the horror and terrible wounds of war still resonates today.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Jacket after Pablo Picasso (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, slight yellowing to page block, not price clipped (£15.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 274pp. A stirring account of the town that inspired one of the world's most celebrated and controversial works of art, the painting Guernica's profound impact on the politics and culture of the 20th century, and the artist whose passion and artistic vision are unequaled in modern history. On April 26th 1937 the German Luftwaffe began relentless bombing and machine gunning of businesses, homes and villages to test a new type of warfare waged from the air, at the request of General Francisco Franco and his rebel forces. Three and a half hours later, the village lay in ruins, its population decimated. This act of terror and unspeakable cruelty, the first intentional, large scale attack against a nonmilitary target in modern warfare, outraged the world and compelled a Spanish painter to respond with artistic fury. Pablo Picasso, an expatriate living in Paris, reacted immediately to the devastation in his homeland by beginning work on the canvas that would become his testament against the horrors of war. Weaving themes of conflict and redemption, doom and transcendence, and featuring some of the century's most memorable and infamous figures, Martin follows this renowned masterwork from its creation through its journey across decades, from many countries of Europe to America and finally and triumphantly to Spain. 'Picasso's War' is a book that vividly demonstrates how vital art is to human lives and how sometimes it even transfigures tragedy, a story that delivers an unforgettable portrait of an artistic genius whose visionary rendering of the terrible wounds of war still resonates profoundly today.
