Pablo Picasso

The life and loves of legendary painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso are profiled in this documentary. Across the 20th century, Picasso courted controversy and challenged norms to leave an unforgettable mark on the art world.

Condensed from 1901 to 1907 and relegated to the shadow of the great Cubist canvases, Picasso's blue and rose periods are often little studied for themselves. Nevertheless, it was at this time that Picasso broke with his father's teaching and freed himself from the academicism of the Beaux-Arts. He then began a period of trying out different techniques.
