Both are painters and treated, each in their own way, the same subject: the bombing of the town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. One and the other are bruised and denounce the horror.
Basilio, whose first name means "king, monarch" was a direct witness of the event. Driven by his friend Eusebio father, he has even made clichés. But his work does not show the bombardment. Basilio painted herons. They are so fragile ...
The other painter is Pablo Picasso. Excessive genius who puts his talent at the service of one of its major and monumental works. His first name for him, just Paulus meaning "small."
Antoine Choplin, the text is both intense and immaculately sobriety brings together the "king" tiny and the "small" gigantic. But that emerge from the intersection of these two destinies?
