Description:
|
|
The Weeping Woman (MP165) and The Suppliant (MP168), were directly inspired by the Lerida bombings, of which Picasso procured prints by Augusti Centelles (Picasso Archives). Lerida (Lleida in Catalan) served as a key defense point for Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War, and fell to the Insurgents, whose air forces bombed it extensively, in 1937 and 1938. The November 2, 1937 Legion Condor attacks against Lleida became especially infamous since they were aimed at the school known as Liceu Escolar de Lleida. 48 children and several teachers died in it that day, 300 people were killed on the November 2 bombings altogether, and the town would be bombed and sieged again in 1938, when it was conquered by Franco's forces.
