The New Masters: Picasso

on BBC Two England

This film, made to celebrate his 90th birthday last October, explores the ambiguous personality of the world's most famous living artist. It tells the story of his life, his loves, his wars, his rise to fame through his work, and in discussion with his friend and biographer Roland Penrose.

The programme includes the latest and as yet unexhibited folio of Picasso's etchings, on which he was still at work in his 90th year.
