| Admin/Biog History | George Daskall, a Bulgarian who worked on the Balkan desk of the BBC's World Service, was an amateur painter and friend of Sewell's. In 1970, he met Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) who showed him a glove worn by one of the victims killed in the bombings in the Basque Country town of Guernica. Daskall explained how he subsequently obtained the glove in an essay titled The Story of the White Pigeon and Picasso's Guernica Glove. Sewell attempted to have a television programme made about Picasso and the glove and related material can be found in BS/7/1 - Television: Picasso's Glove. He also wrote several articles on the subject and related material can be found in BS/5/1/783 - Articles on the Arts, Exhibitions and Reviews: Picasso: Pablo: Picasso's Glove. |
