As engaged as I was when viewing the vast collection of traditional art at the Prado and Picasso’s “Guernica” at the Reina Sofia, my piecemeal experience with Spanish art was disappointing. To exclude modern art, particularly Picasso, from such a prominent, iconic museum is to exclude a pivotal moment in Spanish history.
