Aussie comedian and art historian Hannah Gadsby concludes her comedy lectures with Picasso's angry 1907 masterpiece 'Les Demoiselles D'Avignon'.

It was as a student in Canberra in her early 20s that Hannah was first introduced to this canvas and it took her a long time to grow to love it.

She takes us on her personal journey through hate, to eventual love, explaining along the way why this piece is so pivotal in art history.

With the help of her Quotebot, Hannah explores 'Les Dems' rebellion, anger and revolution and the painting's place in modern art.

She also decides Picasso was 'a bit of a dick'.

Written and performed by Hannah Gadsby.

With her Quotebot aka John Lloyd.
