Since the 1997 opening of the Guggenheim Bilbao Museo, Basque nationalists have been calling for its transfer there.Modern Warships: Epic sea battles go global on May 13 Complaints escalated after the painting was relocated to the new Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid in 1992. Because the painting had been damaged in its years of travel, curators at the Prado said it was unlikely that Guernica would ever go on tour again.Ī number of groups in Spain, particularly Basque nationalists, objected strongly to Guernica‘s permanent exhibition in Madrid. The threat of terrorism against the highly politicized work required high security, and visitors passed through a metal detector to view the paintings. Picasso’s preparatory sketches for the painting, likewise protected behind thick glass, were housed in adjacent rooms. On October 25-the 100th anniversary of Picasso’s birth- Guernica went on exhibit to the public behind a thick layer of bullet-proof glass. King Juan Carlos defused the revolt by convincing military commanders to remain loyal to Spain’s democratic constitution. The painting was to be housed in a new annex of the Prado Museum, only two blocks from the Spanish parliament, which had been the scene of an abortive military coup in February 1981. On September 10, 1981, Guernica arrived in Madrid under heavy guard. Finally, Picasso’s former lawyer gave his assent to the transfer. Spain then called for the return of Guernica, but opposition by Picasso heirs who questioned Spain’s democratic credentials delayed its transfer until 1981. Two years later, Franco died and was succeeded as Spanish leader by King Juan Carlos I, who immediately began a transfer to democracy. In 1973, Picasso died in France at the age of 91. Picasso refused, clarifying that the painting would not be returned until democracy was reestablished. In 1967, Franco restored some liberties, and in 1968 his government made an effort to recover Guernica. The painting was occasionally lent to European museums at the request of Picasso.įrancisco Franco ruled over Spain as dictator for the rest of Picasso’s life, and the artist never returned to his native country. After the war, most of these works were returned to Europe, but Picasso asked that Guernica and its preliminary studies be kept by MoMA until the “reestablishment of public liberties” in Spain. When World War II broke out later that year, Picasso requested that Guernica and a number of his other works be held at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) on extended loan. Guernica was exhibited in the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition and in 1939 was sent to New York on a tour for the benefit of the Spanish Refugee Committee. Painted in desolate tones of black, white, and gray, the painting shows a gored horse, a screaming mother holding a dead child, a bewildered bull, and other nightmarish images that effectively evoke the horror of war. The enormous painting, which measures 11.5 feet by 25.5 feet, is a savage indictment of man’s inhumanity to man. Outraged by the brutality of the act, Picasso seized on the bombing as the subject of his mural, which he completed in just three weeks.
