Picasso's Guernica In Animation


Picasso's Guernica in animated form

Guernica Picasso from Evgeny Mylt on Vimeo.


This video tells the story of Guernica - considered by many to be Picasso's masterpiece. Guernica demonstrates graphically the tragedy of war and the suffering that it brings to ordinary individuals, particularly innocent civilians.

Guernica gained monumental status and is a perpetual reminder of the consequences of war, an anti-war symbol, and also an embodiment of peace. On its completion Guernica was displayed around the world in brief tours. It became widely acclaimed. The tour brought the Spanish Civil War to the world's attention. Guernica became a face-to-face encounter with inhumanity, a wanton massacre at the village of Guernica in Spain

This fantastic animated collage was created by Evgeny Popov.
The sound production and the marvellous Spanish guitar was by
Maxim Alechin. 
Popov is a graduate of the Saint Petersburg University of Humanities and Social Sciences.  He works as a multimedia director, editor and CG artist as well as with a camera.
