A study of Pablo Picasso's seminal painting Guernica describes how a work of art was transformed into an important cultural and political icon, tracing the painting's history from its origins amid the turmoil of the Spanish Civil War, its use as a propaganda weapon against fascism, its odyssey to MOMA in New York, and its return to Spain after Franco's death.
