Throughout this period, its interpretation was the subject of much debate. The museum was interested in situating the painting within its own narrative of twentieth-century art history, while, at the same time, the painting functioned as an icon in contemporary political struggles in the form of reproductions and pictorial versions. This article reviews some of these contradictory positions towards Picasso’s work during this intense “battle for the interpretation”.

This article tries to analyze one of its aesthetic keys: in particular, the conceptualization of its idea process, using the synthesis that appears in the graphic story The Most Beautiful Panting in the World published by Ralph Herrmanns in 1970, in which Tàpies is represented as a character-artist. The friendship that emerges between Tàpies and Herrmanns allows the creative freedom of the latter, who, as an exceptional interpreter, is capable of capturing Tàpies' thought in the tale. The study of this graphic story also allows us to advance in the study of some educational variables that can intervene in the teaching-learning processes of the arts, such as the artist's relationship with the educational intention that appears as a moral in the story-tale. In this moral of a fable, as a conclusion or educational synthesis, Tàpies tries to express his aesthetic thinking about the creative process, represented in his artistic work.

This article explores with five publications by, respectively, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Graham, Carlos Spottorno, Roger Grasas and Federico Clavarino. Their common thread is the idea of Europe. Analyzing the work of these authors allows us to observe how the same theme has been treated, beginning from the Second Post-War years up to more recent works released after the 2008 crisis. They present us with fundamental questions about the configuration of a European identity that is not exempt from conflicts: the inheritance of a cumbersome past, the north-south and/or east-west divides, cultural clichés, the way in which the exercise of power affects citizens. The article identifies the conceptual approaches of each photobook, as well as the thematic and aesthetic elements that define them, in close connection with their respective historical and creative contexts.
