A Visit to Picasso
Bezoek aan Picasso
Overview
In this short 20 minute black and white Belgian documentary, the director, Paul Haesaerts, visualised Pablo Picasso’s flow of imagination when the Spanish painter drew on large glass plates in front of the camera – like a live show of a greatest artist in performing a few masterstrokes that outlines a dove, bull, flower, man or woman and whatnot. (This technique of filming his painting from the other side of the glass plates precedes The Mystery of Picasso (1956), another famous documentary film on Picasso).

Then, though, we visit his seaside French home in a picturesque village where he proceeds to paint, as if directly onto the screen, and it's astonishing to watch. Random shapes, lines, squiggles and dots become plants, animals and people by the time he has f…
