Picasso's artistic genius was clear from childhood. This outstanding book begins with the doves young Pablo painted with his father when he was only seven, then highlights his later passions for harlequins and street people, bulls and minotaurs, new ways of seeing, and new ways of rendering life. All of these contributed to the massive work 1937 Guernica, painted as a protest against the bombing of defenseless civilians and against the brutality of war everywhere. It is a biography of both an epoch-making artist and a unique painting that resonated with the outrage of people around the world. Not just a beautiful book, with many working drawings, photographs, and full-color paintings, this is also a fascinating insight into the creative process. At the heart of the book is the complete work, spread across an eight-page gatefold.

一场战争，一次轰炸，一幅巨作，让我们跟随历史的影像一步步见证《格尔尼卡》的诞生，记住那终有一天会战胜黑暗的万千色彩！
《格尔尼卡》是毕加索盛年时期的集大成之作，融合了立体主义的变形技巧和超现实主义的先验幻想。它全景式的布局与独特的色彩运用不仅记录着西班牙内战的残酷与悲惨，还负载着全人类对不义战争的控诉和对可贵自由的渴望。二战时期，它成为反对法西斯战争的一面旗帜；和平年代，它是警示人性之恶、呼唤民主自由的一羽白鸽：从这个意义上说，《格尔尼卡》属于毕加索，也属于全人类。
