«Guernica: la historia y el mito, en proceso» is the art history essay by Juan Antonio Ramírez, published by Electa (paperback, 63 pages).
The essay studies the mural that Picasso created by commission of the Government of the Second Republic for the Spanish pavilion at the 1937 Paris World's Fair. Ramírez examines its elements, reconstructs its process, and reads the scene as a mythical surrealist bullfight: destruction and chaos without victims or executioners.
Published in 1999, it is the second volume of Electa's «Mitos Arte» collection, in a Spanish edition.
For readers interested in art history and Picasso, particularly in the meaning of Guernica.
essayist, critic and professor of History of Spanish Art (1948–2009)
