Picasso and the War Years: 1937-1945 - 1 views

  •  
    Rosemblum, R. Picasso and the War Years: 1937-1945. New York: Thames and Hudson Inc., 1998. Print. Picasso's political choices are referred to. Picasso was apart of the the Spanish Republic. According to Picasso, while the painting hung in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, it was not a political piece it was simply a depiction of the horrible events of the bombing of the village of Guernica. However, later Picasso told one of his friends that Guernica is a political statement that hangs "in the middle of New York City" (Rosemblum 73). Nazi Germany ignored Picasso's works and called it "the work of a either a lunatic or a of a four-year-old" (Rosemblum 72), although it was a political statement to Nazi Germany and what they did to damage Picasso's homeland of Spain.

Guernica: The Biography of a Twentieth-Century Icon - 1 views

  •  
    van Hensbergen, G. Guernica: The Biography of a Twentieth-Century Icon. New York: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2004. Print. Guernica is still seen as a political work of art today. Guernica not only depicted the brutal bombings and aftermath of that April day but it is a depiction of what is yet to come. The horror of Guernica can still be seen in modern times; such as the attack on the Twin Towers in New York (van Hensbergen 1) and the war in Iraq (van Hensbergen 2). Many well known political figures refer to Guernica and it's political message in many speeches and addresses because its message is still relevant today.
