Cannes Film Festival Official Selection

-Award granted by The Cannes Film Festival

Product Description

A Cannes Film Festival Official Selection A video anthology that is a stroke of genius. The life and work of Pablo Picasso, the greatest painter of our time, are captured in this incredible film by director Edward Quinn. Taking advantage of having complete access to Picasso during the last 22 years of the artist's life, Quinn filmed him at work in his studio and at home with his family, creating a living scrapbook of the painter's achievements while revealing unknown aspects of Picasso's creativity and personality.

This priceless program contains over 600 of the artist's works -- many never before seen in public. With sequences showing the evolution of works-in-progress, we chronologically follow his artistic evolution, while witnessing episodes in his personal life in parallel.

Part 2 - 1938-1973: Through the war years and life on the French Riviera, Picasso's work moves on to include ceramics, sculpture, poetry and graphics art.

By A Customer

This review is from: Picasso 2: 1938-1973 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This Cannes Film Festival selection takes a comprehensive and fascinating look at the life and art of the legendary Pablo Picasso. During the last 22 years of Picasso's life, film maker Edward Quinn had complete access to the artist. Through a combination of exclusive home movies and intimate photos, as well as over 600 of the artist's works (many never seen in public), a living, breathing scrapbook of Picasso is realized. The film follows the parallel development of the artist's life and work, giving insight into his creative processes. Among other highlights are some of the last pictures ever taken of him.
