The Private Life of a Masterpiece

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

4/5. Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. "My Brothel" is the title Pablo Picasso gave to his depiction of five prostitutes - a painting that shocked even his friends when they first saw it. But how did the piece arise from a rivalry between
Picasso and Matisse? What influences did Picasso draw on for his allegory of sex and death? And why does it remain revolutionary to this day? Narrated by Samuel West. Producer Judith Winnan ; Series editor Jeremy Bugler
Repeated with signing on Thursday BBCI at 3am
