Tomorrow we will have a picture that touches my soul for very personal reasons but today we have the painting that would be my answer if you were daft enough to ask me, 'What is the most important picture of the twentieth century?' As I say, the question would be daft and only a man as impertinent as the Overgraduate would offer an answer from quite such a position of ignorance. Oh well.
Guernica (1937) is Pablo Picasso's gutteral response to the bombing of Guernica by the Nazis at the behest of Franco. It is executed on a massive scale (close to 24 square metres). I'm sticking with my answer.
