- Lecturer: Jacqueline Cockburn
When Picasso saw the papers in Paris in April 1937, he was horrified by accounts of the bombing of the little Basque town of Guernica and he set about painting one of his largest and most monumental canvasses. He worked fast and furiously, depicting the horror of war in a way that still moves us today. This lecture will unravel the painting, its historical context and the extraordinary and effective use of the colour grey.
