Hank Willis Thomas’s 𝘎𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢 appropriates Pablo Picasso’s 1937 work of the same title and size, remaking it as a quilt composed of ⁣
sports jerseys. Both works are political. Picasso was reacting to Francisco Franco’s bombing of the town Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. 𝘎𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢 has come to symbolize the horrors of all wars and exist as a powerful anti-war statement. Thomas’s Guernica speaks to current wars across the globe and violence against blacks. ⁣
⁣
For Thomas, sport is a proxy for warfare. He says that “the demarcation of ‘us versus them’ appears throughout history and culture and there is nothing that humans will not use as a basis for division and presumed superiority.” ⁣
