| Like many artists of the post-WWI era, Pablo Picasso feIl under the spelI of the French Riviera. The blue intensity of the Mediterranean, its rugged coasts, balmy weather, and sun- fiIIed days inspired some of his most important artistic breakthroughs. lcarus Films is proud to present a pair of unique documentaries on two colorful periods of Picasso’s Rivera Iife. François Lévy-Kuentz’s ON THE FRENCH RlVIERA WlTH MAN RAY AND PICASSO details Picasso’s summer in the viIIage of Mougins in 1937. The fiIm is mainIy toId from the point of view of photographer, fiImmaker, and painter Man Ray, using footage he shot (including some on the then-experimentaI Kodachrome), a wealth of photos, and readings from Man Ray. Other guests we witness include Man Ray’s girIfriend, Ady FideIin, a dancer and modeI from Guadeloupe; surreaIist poet PauI ÉIuard and his wife Nusch and writer RoIand Penrose, there with photographer Lee MiIler, Man Ray’s former modeI and lover. With Christian Tran’s PICASSO AND SlMA, ANTlBES 1946, we learn the story of Picasso’s pivotal friendship with sculptor and photographer Michel Sima while living in the town of Antibes right after the War. At Picasso’s request, Sima photographed Picasso’s works- in-progress in the workshop he found for him at GrimaIdi PaIace. The artists’ work and friendship eventuaIly resuIted in the creation of the Picasso Museum. This unique showcase in Antibes aIIowed a treasure trove of Picasso’s art to be returned to its originaI home and is documented first-hand in this film. DVD BONUS: AIain Resnais and Robert Hessens’ lovingIy restored fiIm GUERNICA. This 14-minute short features paintings, drawings, and scuIptures made by Picasso between 1902 and 1949, focusing on "Guernica" itseIf. Accompanying the artworks is a dramatic text by PauI EIuard, read by actor Maria Casares. |
