Picasso's War

The narrative centers on the devastating bombing of Gernika, Spain, by the German Luftwaffe on April 26, 1937, which shocked the world and profoundly affected Pablo Picasso. As an expatriate artist, Picasso channeled his outrage into creating "Guernica," a masterpiece that captures the horrors of war and the potential of art to transform tragedy. Russell Martin explores the themes of conflict, redemption, and the emotional journey behind this iconic work, tracing its evolution from conception to its lasting impact on art and society.
