Brian Sewell discussing Picasso's 'Guernica' in Guernica & the Bilbao Guggenheim. Naked Pilgrim 2003

Memorable and personal discussion of a detail of Picasso's masterpiece by the British art critic. From Episode 4 of the six-part 'Naked Pilgrim' series about the pilgrimage to Santiago during which Sewell diverts to Gernika/Guernica and Bilbao.

Friends of mine nicknamed me Brian some years ago as a jibe about my high standards in all areas of life. I consider it a badge of honour.

I loved his passion , eccentric stubborn and intelligent. Love him or hate him, you had to admire the man. I think we need people in life like him, unique. Happy trails.🖌️🎨👍

Brian Sewell such a loss.

It is kept at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía

Such a classy act; such a shame he didn’t do more programmes. As he said on ‘The Grand Tour’, he had an ambivalent attitude to telly…

[@ChubbyChecker182]

The Stone Roses Track called Guernica is quite something. Worth a listen with headphones on. Kind of their forgotten masterpiece for me.

I do hope that Guernica's glove wasn't thrown out when Brian Sewell died. But I suppose the world is full of 'Guernica gloves'. I have many meaningful objects (To me.) when I die, most of them without context will seem worthless junk.

Nice glove bro

[@jamesallison4875]

The comments are vapid and ignorant. I’ve seen Guernica at the Prado. Wonderful and terrible! Thanks, Brian. You were the best. Sorry about the petty bourgeoisie. Rip.

[@tarakb7606]

He is very much missed.

[@gunnersaurus17]

My wife recently ordered a ‘chandelier’ on the internet which, when it had arrived and been installed, was so gloriously ugly that I imagined Brian appearing as a force ghost next to me (like Alec Guinness in Star Wars) and exclaiming: “It’s utterly hideous!” A truly remarkable man indeed, and one who left an impact upon our shared consciousness and culture.

[@jmitterii2]

Wonder what he did do with that glove?

[@stiannobelisto573]

That glove scene is not on the DVD

[@robertmccutcheon4672]

That's right. I saw the series on TV years ago before I bought the DVD, and was puzzled (and disappointed) when I saw that the Guernica clip was missing.

Absolutely Superb!

Anyone know the guitar piece ?

[@roderickspode6657]

The piece during the Guggenheim footage is a rendition of a flamenco toque called soleares by a very average guitarist.

[@ingridlinbohm7682]

My six year daughter could do better ! I hope that Brian Sewell is working his way through purgatory. May we meet in heaven.

[@Eudaimonia88]

@IngridLindbohm Well, after that ignorant comment you won't be meeting Brian in heaven. He'll of course be there, but you'll be in the 7th circle of hell.

[@Oldman808]

Ingrid Linbohm, I love your comment.
