Picasso - self-indulgent genius, the artist for
whom the condition of modern art was to separate itself from politics
and history. But the brutality of the Luftwaffe when it bombs the
ancient Basque town of Guernica makes cubism's own little wrecking
action seem trivial. What is the breaking of figurative art beside the
breaking of bodies and the burning of homes? Picasso, anguished about
the fate of his country, wants to do what was assumed could never be
done – make a modern history painting.
