Picasso and the War Years, 1937-1945 Exhibition Catalog by Steven Nash. Published by Thames & Hudson, 1998. 1st Ed Exhibition Catalog with dust jacket. In collaboration with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York ; Steven A. Nash, editor with Robert Rosenblum ; and contributions by Brigitte Baer. Published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, California Palace of the Legion of Honor, October 10, 1998-January 3 1999 and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, February5-April 26th, 1999. Arguably the most important artist of the 20th c, Pablo Picasso has been the object of innumerable exhibitions and publications. This book draws upon new research and works that, in some cases, were held out of public view in Picasso's own collection to explore the critically important -- but still understudied -- period of his life from the time of the Spanish Civil War through World War II and the Nazi occupation of France. This span of years is marked by some of the most intensely personal and expressive work of his long and diverse career. By the 1930s Picasso stood secure in his preeminence, a symbol of modernism and a model of inventiveness and self-renewal. The darkening political situation in Europe, however, began to intrude into his world of creativity, and by 1935 new themes of unrest were emerging in his work. With the outbreak of the civil war in Spain, political crisis became personal crisis, and the formerly autobiographical, even hermetic outlook in Picasso's art expanded to embrace a new political and social consciousness. During this period of his life, the subjects he painted changed dramatically in direct response first to the horrors of war and then to the dangers and privations of life in occupied Paris, where he chose to remain until it's Liberation. While it is true, as Picasso himself stated, that he did not directly paint the events of war, except the powerful mural Guernica.
