Picasso the Legend

By the late ''''30s, Picasso was the most famous artist in the world. He was called upon to depict the brutality of fascist aggression in the Spanish Civil War with his monumental "Guernica".

Many other paintings from this period reflect the horror of war, but there is a consistent depiction of personal interest as well. The women in Picasso''''s life had a major impact on his artistic production, and some of the best examples are from this period.
