Picasso and His Time

This superb documentary covers the long and extraordinary life of Picasso, beginning with the first period of his life in Málaga, La Coruña, and Barcelona (the time of his classic painting) and continuing in Paris, Vallauris, and Vouvenargue. This beautifully photographed program follows the development of this genius through the Pink and Blue Periods, surrealism, cubism, sculpture, and ceramics: a unique artist who excelled in all styles and all media and remained—regardless of where he was—Spanish to the core.
