This title is no longer available from the Roland Collection. Details remain on this site for the reference of previous customers.
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?
