What a great work of art. He allowed this to be made of him creating several art pieces. It really allowed me to appreciate him, even more than I might have. A great tool to learn to be bold.

if art has been concerned with capturing the dramatic then this superb movie is about a stage in this process at which picasso's (new) means capture drama.

it can also be viewed as a guide for the (de-)composition of the contemporary art and its relationships.

great music in a great movie. should you arrive at this film for undersatanding picasso think twice since there is not much to be understood ... [with picasso anyway.]

4.0 out of 5 stars The secret of Picasso, December 14, 2001

This review is from: Mystery of Picasso [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This superb film allows us to see the transformation of Picasso's paintings as they are being made! By placing the camera behind a specially designed "canvas" we are able to see each brush stroke and most importantly how a beautiful painting is created only to be painted over: adding a stroke here, changing a line, until the painting is transformed by layer upon layer of painting. This film allows us to understand Picasso's contribution to art; that in essence it is a process of transformation.
