Ultimately, ‘Piedad y terror en Picasso. El camino a Guernica’ analyzes the evolution of Picasso’s pictorial work, along with Guernica as a founding principle from late 20s to mid-40s of 20th century.
The contemplated path of the exhibition demonstrates how the artist, from Málaga, was making pictorial and iconographic experiments. These experiments were related to violence and monstrous themes since the 20s in order to finalize in April and June of 1973 with the development of this emblematic painting, which the republican government is in charge to exhibit it to the public in the Spanish Pavilion in the 1973 International Exhibition in Paris.
