Abstract

Guernica, Picasso’s painting for the Spanish Republican Pavilion in the International Exposition of Arts and Techniques of Paris, 1937, had a strong impact on the New York School. In May 1939 it was first exhibited in this city as a political icon within a campaign to raise funds for the Spanish Republic refugees. In November 1939 it was exhibited again as an undisputed modern art masterpiece in the frame of a great retrospective exhibition on Picasso’s oeuvre at the Museum of Modern Art. By adding up these two meanings, Guernica acted as an important stimulus for abstract expressionist artists, who were looking for an art that could express the connection between the inner self of the artist and the problems of his time, and confirmed the role of the artist, as an individual, in society.
