Good video.
Even people not that keen on Picasso tend to admit this one is something special. It took him about six weeks, locked away in his studio, and there is an interesting series of photographs by his squeeze at the time, Dora Maar, showing how he changed things around along the way:
I'm a bit of a philistine when it comes to the visual arts, Turner and Warhol is about as far I can stretch, but Guernica has always intrigued me. Thanks for the info, I am googling more about it now.
