Francis Frascina, lecturer in art history at the Open University, discusses one of Picasso's best-known works, Guernica (1936). Why did Picasso paint this vast work representing the destruction of the town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War? How did Picasso tackle a major political, propagandist work for international exhibition? What means were at his disposal and how did he use them? As a work of art and a political statement, was Guernica successful and what does it signify today?
