A film on the Pablo before the Picasso

A couple of paintings that Pablo Picasso made in his younger years

Find out more about the early years of one of the 21st century's greatest artists at a screening of Young Picasso, a film directed by Phil Grabsky.

The film zooms in on two key periods - the Blue Period and the Rose Period, up to 1907 - and on the creation of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, a landmark painting in the history of art, which Picasso completed at just 25 years of age.
