The Genesis of a Painting: Picasso's Guernica

By Rudolf Arnheim

Book Overview

'A beautiful book, and a unique record of the steps in the creation of Picasso's impassioned mural...One may differ with some of Arnheim's interpretations of the symbolism of some of the figures... but one cannot criticize his expert technical knowledge, his empathy with the many varying problems of the artist, or the skill with which he leads the reader form the formless sketch to the completed mural.' -San Francisco Chronicle
