Synopsis

Pablo Picasso is one of the greatest artists of all time - and right up until his death in 1973 he was the most prolific of artists. Many films have dealt with these later years - the art, the affairs and the wide circle of friends. But where did this all begin? What made Picasso in the first place? Too long ignored, it is time to look at the early years of Picasso; the upbringing and the learning that led to his extraordinary achievements. Three cities play a key role: Malaga, Barcelona and Paris. Young Picasso visits each and explores their influence on Picasso, focusing on specific artworks from these early years. The film thus explains how this young artist acquired his craft. 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. Working closely with all three Picasso Museums in Malaga, Barcelona and Paris this film explains how he rose to such great heights.

    Først gikk jeg til Laura Gundersens gate, så gikk vi til Pilestredet park, så gikk vi til Ullevålsveien 19, så gikk vi til Xin Chao, så gikk vi til Dalat Cafe, så gikk vi til Falafel n’ Juice, så gikk vi til Stortorvet, så gikk vi til Cinemateket

    This was an interesting and well done documentary to see in a theater. I didn’t know too much about Picasso before seeing this and it was very enlightening. Cool experience and I definitely want to learn more about his life now. Watched in a local theater.

    A sterling documentary that could even please those who respond to Picasso’s art with alarm. Read the review: https://www.filmreviewdaily.com/all-reviews/young-picasso

    As a fan of Picasso I find any material on this genius interesting. Yes, this may have been a typical, dry documentary, but I liked being reminded of his childhood and his early days. Could have used more engaging visuals and storytelling techniques. I liked his quote…

    2022 in film- Movie #107 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I hate how dry and boring these movies are. Picasso had some really interesting and intimate work in his early years but the introduction and description of the work is just so watered down and…
