Michelle WAA on 17 Nov 10Byrne, L. "Picasso, Guernica, History." Art Book 14.3 (2007): OhioLINK: Electronic Journal Center. Web. 1 November 2010. Byrne reviews a work by Fransisco Calvo Serraller and Jorge Semprun on Picasso's Guernica. The painting was painted for the Spanish Pavilion at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1937. Guernica is a summary of the wars of the past one hundred years (Byrne 13). Serraller's thinks that the painting is one of the greatest paintings of all time because it was created out of "historical tradition" genius which he believed only Picasso and a select few were capable of.
