Most of us are familiar with Pablo Picasso's painting
Guernica, which shows the tragedies of
war and the suffering it inflicts upon individuals, particularly innocent
civilians. This work has gained a monumental status, becoming a perpetual
reminder of the tragedies of war, an anti-war symbol, and an embodiment of peace. On completion Guernica
was displayed around the world in a brief tour, becoming famous and widely
acclaimed.
Now, a robot has entered right inside the entrails of this painting, to analyse and complete the most thorough & comprehensive study done so far, coinciding with it's 75th years of existence since he painted it in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War.
With
the name 'Travel to the interior of Guernica', the project was
patronized by the Telefonica Foundation, permitting the most accurate
and precise information of this unique painting, penetrating the
several different layers of the picture to create the finished effect,
and discover aspects never known till now re. it's gestation, process
of the growth, materials used, technique and state of conservation.
It's
art lovers' dream of rare and most interesting information to date on
Picasso the artist, and one of his most world known work.
