A series about some of the best-known images in art

Picasso is the richest and most famous living artist. Perhaps his own fame has outstripped that of any of his paintings. But of the thousands of pictures that he's made throughout his very long life, it's the group of paintings known as 'The Blue Period,' produced over 60 years ago, which are the most popular and best-known. The most haunting of them, La Femme en Chemise, hangs in the Tate Gallery, London.

America's most famous architect, the son of a Yorkshire preacher, Frank Lloyd Wright lived and died believing he was the prophet of a new architecture. 'Now I have been accused of saying that I was the greatest architect in the world,' he confessed 'and, if I had said so, I don't think it would be very arrogant because I don't believe there are many, if any. For 500 years what we call architecture has been phoney.'
