Guernica - reality and representation

Categorized under:
Picasso's 'Guernica' has been a 'gift' and a 'challenge' for cartoonists since its first appearance in 1937. From David Low's first un-Picasso influenced reactions - perhaps based on newspaper photographs and news film and reminiscent of 'ruins' iconography after the First World War - to the bombing in 1937 to a Michael Heath cartoon, "Serbinica", of 1993. The archive also has examples of how Picasso's imagery became synomomous during the post second world war period and his 'Guernica' mural become an iconic image.
More information about the bombing of Guernica, the reporting of the event, Picasso's 'Guernica' and how the image has been used ever since as the visual tool of protest: see http://www.shapesoftime.net/pages/viewpage.asp?uniqid=12397
