Poco A Poco: Pablo Picasso
In this episode of Poco A Poco, instead of looking at brushstrokes or cubism, we are mapping Pablo Picasso’s life through Spain. We look at his childhood roots in Málaga and La Coruña, his teenage years in Barcelona. Even though he ended up spending the majority of his life in France, Spain was always where his heart was. We discuss how Madrid became the home of his masterpiece Guernica. Along the way, we found a lot of intense family drama, tragic losses, and a pretty dark personal history that was completely new for us to find out. We also talk about a few unexpected places in Spain where his art ended up, including a tiny museum started by his personal barber. By the end, it is clear that while he was a genius on canvas, his personal life left a lot of emotional wreckage behind.
