Perhaps no 20th-century painting has captured the cruel effects of war as powerfully as Picasso's Guernica. The author not only traces the extraordinary creation of the painting but also establishes the context in which the bombing took place and the form in which news of it reached Picasso. This book received the 1988 American Society for Hispanic Art Historical Studies Distinguished Publication Award.
