PICASSO'S
GUERNICA
Images within Images
byMELVIN E. BECRAFT 
i
 
Excerpts from
Picasso's Guernica
by Frank D. Russell, Montclair, New Jersey: Allanheld, Osmun & Co.,Publishers, Inc., 1980, are reprinted with permission. Professor Russell's book is an in-depth study into
Guernica
and contains a treasure-trove of iconographical detail. Also, the notes of the book contain aninvaluable critique of earlier
Guernica
 writings. He also cites valuable insightful information shared inconversation with other Picasso scholars. Professor Russell's book develops two main iconographic thesesconcerning
Guernica:
the crucifixion and the bullfight. The book's large explorations in iconography andiconology, and the Epilogue (in part about Picasso in the creative process being able to sift through all art which has gone before him) become 'must' reading for anyone interested in the artist and his
Guernica.
