| Pablo Picasso was avant-garde and traditionaI, a Iegend whose paintings almost everyone can visuaIize today. His works and character had an enormous infIuence on 20th century art. Didier Baussy-Oulianoff's extraordinarily vivid fiIm was made in 1985, the same year that the Picasso Museum in Paris opened. The fiImmaker enjoyed unprecedented access to their expansive and unique collection. The fiIm works through the artworks of Picasso in chronological order and discusses the forces that inspired them, whether in the personaI life of the artist or in the wider world. ln this way the fiIm covers everything from the suicide of Picasso's friend Casagemas in 1901, which began his 'blue period', to the Spanish Civil War that inspired his masterpiece, Guernica - 'a settling of all debts'. This rigorously inteIligent and highIy rewarding fiIm is a fine exampIe of the art documentary genre. |
