Description
Few artists have left such an impact on their era. Pablo Picasso dominated the 20th century, bequeathing an iconic legacy to the history of painting, printing and sculpture. Fifty years after the Spanish artist's death, his influence still looms large. To mark that anniversary, FRANCE 24's Olivia Salazar-Winspear retraces his steps in Barcelona to discover how the giant of modern art got his start in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of turn-of-the-century Catalonia. We also see how Picasso's early academic work gave way to formal experimentation at the Picasso Museum Barcelona, the largest collection of his work in the world.
