Description
The Return of Guernica: Picasso, Franco and the Rebirth of Spanish Art In 1937, Pablo Picasso created his iconic masterpiece, Guernica, for the Spanish Pavilion at the International Exposition in Paris. For decades, the painting remained in New York's Museum of Modern Art before its return to Spain in 1981 marked a significant moment in the country's transition to democracy. The artwork's journey was not without controversy, as Franco's regime had initially sought to acquire it despite Picasso's strong anti-Franco stance. The artist's refusal to sell was eventually met with approval from Franco in 1968, reflecting the regime's desire to reclaim a work of art by one of its most famous citizens. This book delves into the previously untapped archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Archives, shedding new light on the complex negotiations surrounding Guernica's return.
