Pablo Picasso. Cover of "Dream and Lie of Franco." Reproduction on paper of the cover and poem from the portfolio "Dream and Lie of Franco," published by SPADEM in 1975. Dimensions without frame: 43 x 32 cm. The Artwork is in good condition with signs of age. The paper has a small tear at the bottom. "Dream and Lie of Franco" is a series of etchings and a prose poem written by Pablo Picasso in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. The handwritten title and the text below are part of a fierce satire and propaganda attack against General Francisco Franco. Picasso used the Artwork, filled with surreal and grotesque imagery, to portray Franco as a monster and raise funds for the Republican cause. The piece is contemporary with and related to "Guernica," demonstrating Picasso's profound political commitment against fascism.
