I Den Spanske Borgerkrig, bomber det tyske luftvåben, Legion Condor, den baskiske by Gernika (spansk: Guernica)

Se:

Guernica was a dress rehearsal for the Nazi war that followed. By Anne Colamosca (Jacobin, April 26, 2022). “The bombing of Guernica on this day in 1937 wasn’t just part of the Spanish Civil War but a show of Nazi Germany’s military might. When antifascist journalist George Steer uncovered Germany’s responsibility, it prepared the world for the terror that followed.”

The attack on Guernica revealed the horror of aerial warfare. By Esme Choonara (Socialist Worker, Issue 2048, 28 April 2007). “In April 1937, Pablo Picasso read an article in the French Communist daily, L’Humanité, reporting that “Guernica, the most ancient town of the Basques, was completely destroyed yesterday afternoon by insurgent air raiders.”

Se også om Pablo Picassos maleri Guernica:

A special obscenity. By Cal Winslow (Jacobin: Reason in Revolt, 26 April 2017). “Picasso painted Guernica eighty years ago this spring. It still stands as a searing protest against the brutality of war and fascism.”

Guernica: a horror of war that gave us a canvas of genius. By Andy Ridley (Socialist Worker, Issue 2146, 11 April 2009). “Picasso’s Guernica, one of the most powerful indictments of the barbarity of war, has come to London this month.”

Picasso – 70 years since Guernica. By David Sullivan (In Defence of Marxism, 10 August 2007). “To the degree we realise the truth expressed in this work, Guernica stands as possibly the greatest painting of the 20th Century.”

Guernica: shock and awe in paint. By Mike Gonzalez (Socialist Worker, Issue 2048, 28 April 2007). “Anger at the event inspired Pablo Picasso to produce a painting that defines the horror of war.”

Picasso’s Guernica. By Scott Johnson (International Socialist Review, Issue 52, March–April 2007). “Seventy years after its creation, it has remained, unfortunately, timeless. But while the mural portrays the innocent victims of war, the story of Guernica””and its creator””is also about the struggle for their liberation.”

UN conceals Picasso’s ‘Guernica’ for Powell’s presentation. By David Walsh (World Socialist Web Site, 8 February 2003). “United Nations officials covered up a tapestry reproduction of Pablo Picasso’s anti-war mural “Guernica” during US Secretary of State Colin Powell’s February 5 presentation of the American case for war against Iraq.”
