Probably! That use of Picasso’s Guernica 🤌 While I sit in my corner grumbling about the patriarchy. 😂
in 1937 Guernica was aerially bombed “[It] was being used as a communications centre by Republican forces..and the raid was intended to destroy bridges and roads.” the number of victims (described as hundreds) is still unknown, just as we’re to be ignorant of the numbers in Palestine and Lebanon
Basquiat at the Serpentine circa 96. Not apparent as an influence so much now but was over my college art/sketchbooks, that raw get an image down with writing style. Seen Rothko in multiple places and it always left me cold. Guernica is impressive though, I had no idea it was that big.
Picasso’s Guernica, in the late 1970s when it was at MoMA. I’d of course looked at reproductions many times but the sheer impact of it up close and in person was overwhelming, as if Picasso was in the room with us, raging.
Lindíssima. É muito original, muito diferente do que a gente se acostumou a ver entre as grandes obras de arte como Monalisa, Guernica, Noite Estrelada e outros. E me surpreendeu o tamanho: 180x180. Eu esperava menor. (O quadro tem passe-partout e moldura, que o deixam ainda maior)
A Nazi officer, one day, visited Pablo Picasso in his atelier. At the sight of the majestic Guernica, visibly impressed, he asked the painter: - Did you make this horror, master? - And Picasso, impassive, replied: - No, it's your doing. "Guernica", 1937 (detail) © ️Pablo Picasso
