This expression of destructive drives finally culminates in the terrible aerial bombing recorded in \"Guernica.\" \u003ci\u003eFrom Minotaur to Guernica\u003c\/i\u003e is authored by Catalan poet Josep Palau i Fabre (1917-2008), one of the artist's earliest admirers and experts, who has made several close analyses of other phases in Picasso's prolific career. The volume is housed in a printed slipcase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ediciones Polígrafa S.A.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788434312739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.70h x 11.80w x 1.70d","brand":"Pablo Picasso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38015096488117,"sku":"9788434312739","price":187.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c340d591-0776-469e-acdd-8581f24466e9.jpg?v=1609152092","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/picasso-1926-1939-from-minotaur-to-guernica-9788434312739","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
