 Spanish Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spanish Civil War (July 18th 1936–April 1st 1939) was a conflict in which the incubent Second Spanish Republic and political left-wing groups fought against a right-wing nationalist insurrection led by General Francisco Franco, who eventually succeeded in ousting the Republican government and establishing a personal dictatorship.
The Spanish Civil War was also an example of total war, where the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica by the Legión Cóndor, as depicted by Pablo Picasso in Guernica, foreshadowed episodes of World War II such as the bombing campaign on Britain by the Nazis and the bombing of Dresden by the Allies.
In the run-up to the Civil War it was led by Emilio Mola and José Sanjurjo, and latterly Franco.

 Guggenheim Museum - Press Office - Picasso and the War Years, 1937-1945
On view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum from February 5 to May 9, 1999, Picasso and the War Years: 1937-1945 is the first exhibition in the United States to examine this critical period in the life and work of Pablo Picasso, the century's premier artist.
The exhibition focuses critical attention on the artist's response to the historical events leading from the Spanish Civil War through the Nazi occupation of France and its liberation by Allied troops.
Although the overall mood of the work from this period is occasional relieved by hopeful and even humorous moments, there is a tendency towards evoking a bleak world of contorted forms and grayed-down colors--a picture of life strained to the brink of survival and beyond.
