Picasso is known as the godfather of modern art. In this programme, art historian David Dibosa explores six decades of ±«Óãtv archive to discover how television has influenced our understanding of him.
David reveals how film-makers have portrayed two different Picassos - the child genius who drew like a master and the adult who rejected his conventional talent in a quest to reflect the world, in ways that shattered all the rules.
He also finds that film-makers have long been fascinated by Picasso’s private life. A notorious womaniser, Picasso used his lovers as muses and left behind a trail of broken relationships.
