The Young Picasso, the film about the early life of the great cubist, hits theaters in May

On May 6, 7, and 8, 2019, The Young Picasso, the film directed by Phil Grabsky that is part of Nexo Digital’s la Grande Arte al Cinema series, is released in theaters. The docu-film investigates the early years of Pablo Picasso’s life, when he divided his time between Málaga, his hometown; Barcelona, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts and became infatuated with Gaudí’s architecture; and Paris, where he met the artists and collectors who proved fundamental to his artistic production.

The documentary was made in close collaboration with the Picasso Museum and the Fundación Picasso-Museo Casa Natal in Málaga, the Museu Picasso de Barcelona, where the largest collection of his early work is kept, the Museu Nacional d’ Art de Catalunya, also in Barcelona, and the Musée national Picasso in Paris, in the city Picasso called “home,” and features the extraordinary participation of Picasso’s grandson, Olivier Widmaier Picasso.

Malén Gual, Senior Curator at the Museu Picasso de Barcelona, comments, “This film shows Picasso’s solid artistic training and what extraordinary paintings he produced from an early age. I have worked on Picasso for decades and have always been impressed and strongly moved by seeing his work, and by his own exciting story, now revealed on the big screen.”
