    I just watched a doc on him and I always thought he was just that typical romantic womanizing modern artiste, and he was, but i didn't know he got political later on after wwii and was commisioned to paint Guernica about the bombing of Spanish civilians by italians/nazis. Pretty heavy stuff in it. An interesting tidbit is that while the USA were making there case to bomb Iraq into a pulp a copy of it was hanging somewhere in the background but was covered up for the tv cameras.

    • There is a duplicate painting of this in palm harbor florida.. I was lucky enough to see it.mattfoo
