An Inspiring and Insightful Documentary About Picasso How did one of art history’s greatest geniuses come to be? Young Picasso takes us on a fascinating journey through Pablo Picasso’s formative years - from Málaga to Barcelona and Paris - the cities that each played a crucial role in shaping his artistic identity. The film traces Picasso’s early creative explorations and delves into two defining periods: the Blue Period, marked by melancholy and profound human sensitivity, and the Rose Period, where warmer tones and circus motifs signal a new artistic confidence. It all leads up to 1907 and the groundbreaking Les Demoiselles d’Avignon - the painting that changed the course of art history and paved the way for Cubism. With exclusive access to the Picasso Museums in Málaga, Barcelona, and Paris, the film offers a rare opportunity to see works that are seldom brought together in one narrative. Director Phil Grabsky weaves together expert interviews and archival material into a compelling portrait of how Pablo Ruiz Picasso became the iconic artist we know as Picasso.
