Art Club Studies Picasso

Fonthill Lodge's Art Club has been studying Picasso's Guernica, where they have drawn and painted a segment of his painting (see below).

On 26th April 1937, a massive air raid by the German Luftwaffe on the Basque town of Guernica in Northern Spain shocked the world. The bombing prompted Picasso to begin his greatest masterpiece, Guernica.

The painting became a timely and prophetic vision of the Second World War and is now recognised as an international icon for peace.
