Derry Guernica

2013-03-06 DerryGuernica copy+

A version of Picasso’s Guernica next to the Museum Of Free Derry, in Glenfada Park in the Bogside. The original is black and white and grey, as in the mural on the International Wall, but here has been coloured in a palette that matches the colour of the wall. Modern-looking aeroplanes, one dropping bombs, have also been added at the top of the image – the bombing took place in 1937, during the Spanish civil war – and the scene seems to be outdoors, rather than indoors.
