Artist PabIo Picasso (1881-1973) was one of the greatest Painters, Printmakers, and ScuIptors of the 20th Century, and a founder of Modern Art. This unique fiIm, a Cannes FiIm FestivaI SeIection, reveaIs unknown aspects of Picasso s work and personality, and contains over 600 of his paintings, scuIptures and ceramics, many never before seen in pubIic. ln an unprecedented colIaboration, Picasso gave filmmaker Edward Quinn unrestrained access to fiIm him in Mougins, France, where Picasso Iived and worked. Both a Biography and an Art History documentary, the fiIm uses many fIashback sequences showing the mutations and evoIution of his work in progress, as we chronoIogicalIy foIIow his works and life in paralleI. Part 2 (1938 - 1973):Part 2 takes viewers through the war years and life on the French Riviera, as Picasso s work moves on to include fine arts such as Ceramics, Sculpture, Pottery and Print Graphics. The period from 1946 to 1973 is made up primarily of home movies, showing his relationships with his chiIdren and the women in his life, but also emphasizing the enormous amount of work accomplished by Picasso during his last 20 years. We observe Picasso, 90 years old, creating copper pIate engravings as we folIow the progress and evoIution through the 6 different stages of the engraving. From his romances with Francoise Gilot & others, and marriage to Jacqueline Picasso to his business with DanieI Henri KahnweiIer, this fiIm presents an unrivaIed Iook into Picasso s marveIous work as weIl as into his eventfuI personal life. Edward Quinn s film is truIy of great historicaI importance to the art worId, since it not onIy shows Picasso in the intimacy of his home, but also at work and furthermore contains the Iast pictures ever taken of Picasso.
