Film: “Le Mystère Picasso”

Part of the Behind-the-Scenes Film Series. Director Henri-Georges Clouzot peers into the imagination of Pablo Picasso in this quiet documentary that captures the revolutionary painter's creative process through a combination of stop-motion and time-lapse photography. Picasso's work comes to life on screen, paint strokes and splashes of color appear as if by magic and empty canvases become platforms for a series of daring and original drawings and paintings that exist only within the confines of this film. In French with English subtitles. 

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition "Tools of the Trade."
