Picasso's 'Guernica' political side to be exhibited


(MENAFN)Wielded on anti-war banners, Spray-painted in murals, and even once hung as a tapestry at the United Nations, Pablo Picasso's Guernica could be the world's most famous political artwork.

Using the latest imaging technology and releasing a trove of previously unseen documents to chart its raging history, a new initiative's organizers are attracting art lovers to revisit the iconic black-and-white painting.

"Guernica is a source of never-ending artistic material and it's a privilege to be with as an art historian," said Rosario Peiro, head of collections at Madrid's Reina Sofia modern art museum.

She is also part of the team who came up with Rethinking Guernica, a collaborative exhibition launched this week.

"Putting all of this together allows you to rethink the history of the painting." she added.
