Synopsis
This lavish volume demonstrates the dynamism and creative energy present throughout Picasso's abundant career and his artistic relationship with tradition. The excepttional works assembled in Picasso: Tradition and Avant-Garde have not often been seen together and show the artist s dual perspective between tradition and modernity. In analyzing Picasso s revolutionary works of art, this lavish volume finds them in constant creative dialogue with the Old Masters such as Ingres, El Greco, Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, Goya, and many others. Text by Francisco Calvo Serraller focuses on Picasso s awareness of history, and Jorge Semprun contemplates Guernica s place in the history of the period and conversations with Picasso himself about the famous mural he painted for the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris World Fair in 1937.

"The arrival in Spain of Pablo Picasso's Guernica in 1981 and its bequest was the most important cultural event in the country's recent history and, undoubtedly, the most eloquent symbol of the end of the political transition and the recovery of our democratic liberties. To mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of this event the Spanish Ministry of Culture has decided to commemorate Picasso's generous gesture towards his homeland and celebrate the significance of the painting's arrival on a cultural and political scale.The two main national museums, Museo Nacional del Prado and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, have joined forces for the very first time on this ambitious project in order to present the exemplary trajectory of Picasso, a trajectory that bridges the gap between tradition and avant-garde."
