The Wire

Exhibition on Screen: Young Picasso,  features the latest in film technology and technique to bring to life the story of how Pablo Picasso’s talent revealed itself when he was a young man.  Looking carefully at two key early periods – the so-called Blue Period and Rose Period – the film takes us all the way to 1907 and the creation of a critical painting in the history of art – Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. It was a painting that shocked the art world but changed it irrevocably. Picasso was only 25 years old.
