💰 Global Economy: ‘The violence of racist tyranny’: African Guernica goes on display alongside Picasso masterpiece — Impact & Analysis
Piece by late South African artist Dumile Feni is part of new series History Doesn't Repeat Itself, But It Does Rhyme
On the second floor of the Reina Sofía, in the very spot where Picasso's Guernica was first exhibited when it arrived in the Madrid museum 34 years ago, there now hangs a smaller, near-namesake of the Spanish artist's most famous work.
While African Guernica, which was drawn by the late South African artist Dumile Feni in 1967, may lack the scale of Picasso's masterpiece, its depth, anger and unnerving juxtaposition of man and beast, light and dark, and innocence and cruelty, are every bit as disturbing.
