Defined by the Cubist style he pioneered, “Guernica” by Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) was an artistic landmark. The work, inspired by Picasso’s desire to express agony, was a passionate protest of the bombing of Guernica, Spain, during the Spanish Civil War. Highly allegorical, it contains symbols of rage, despair and powerlessness against a crisis.
Artistic genius Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) co-founded Cubism and produced a monumental 20,000 artworks during his 70-year career. Picasso’s torrential outpouring of work was so extensive and complex that art historians have divided it into individual periods. A prodigy in his youth, Picasso enrolled in advanced classes at Barcelona’s Royal Academy of Art at age 15. The strong geometric forms of his groundbreaking Cubist works redefined art as a medium that could digress from literal images of reality. Passionately creative in every genre from primitive art to sketches to Surrealism, Picasso profoundly impacted 20th century art.
