Picasso's Guernica Professor Herschel Chipp, art historian at the University of California, Berkeley, recently published his work Picasso's Guernica: History, Transformation, Meanings (California Studies in the History of Art, No. 26). The work is an analysis of the tragic bombing of the town of Guernica and Picasso's interpretation of it. Professor Chipp attended the fifty-first anniversary service in the town on April 26, 1988, at the invitation of the Basque government. At that time he gave a lecture on the impact of the painting. President Ardanza's U.S. Visit: An Addendum Miren Amezaga Clark sent the following note regarding the activities of President Ardanza during the Washington, D.C., part of his U.S. Tour: On March 20, Lendakari Ardanza flew to Washington, D.C. Upon his arrival he attended a dinner hosted by the Basque Center of Washington "Euskalerria." The dinner was preceded by several Basque dances performed by a local dance company and by a reception at the Basque Center in which the Basques of Washington had the opportunity to talk to their Lendakari and his party. Afterwards dinner was served to some seventy-five persons. The Basque Center presented to the Lendakari a crystal globe of the Earth, with two semi-precious stones set in Euskadi and Washington to symbolize the union between the Basque Country and the Basques of the nation's capital. |
