IV. Art and Civil War

  • Art and Civil War

Perhaps the most significant moment in this synthesis of all the arts under the domain of propaganda –and also in the commitment of Spanish artists to the Spanish Republic– was the Pavilion of the Spanish Republic, built for the International Exhibition in Paris in 1937. Designed by Josep Lluís Sert, alongside Pablo Picasso’s Guernica it also included photomontages and photo-murals by Josep Renau and others, along with works by avant-garde artists –Joan Miró, Juli González, Alberto and Alexander Calder–, as well as by many others who were less well-known and more traditional but no less important.
