PABLITO: My horse
doesn't look real, Papa.

Not like your pigeons.

I want to paint like you.

JOSÉ: Then I will teach you, Pablito.

PABLO: I am going to be a
great artist one day, Papa.

You were meant to be a teacher.

KAHNWEILER: May I introduce Pablo
Picasso and Georges Braque,

the founders of the Cubist Movement.

FERNANDE: Pablo is
always with Braque.

MAX: Despair, my dear, is a
readily treatable affliction.

PABLO: What are you doing?

FERNANDE: You don't
know how lonely I feel.

PABLO: I worked hard to get here,
and I am not going to let you

or anyone else make a mess of it.

ROSENBERG: The Nazis have labeled
every bit of it as degenerate.

What do you suppose
they do to degenerates?

SERT: Franco has Hitler and
the Nazis on his side, Pablo.

We need you on ours.

PABLITO: I made a vow to God if he let
Conchita live, I would give up painting.

God knew I could
never keep my promise.

So he took her.

PICASSO: I've been thinking that we
should create something together.

Let's make a baby.

♪ ♪

GAILLARD: Can you tell our
readers in your own words

why you joined the Communist Party?

PICASSO: All my life, I, I've used line
and color to try to penetrate deeper,

to understand the
world and, uh, and man.

Art has been my weapon.

And I have fought in my own
way like a true revolutionary.

But during the horrors
of the Nazi occupation,

I-I felt that that
wasn't enough anymore,

that I had to fight the
Fascism not only with painting

but uh, with my whole being.

BRAQUE: It's radical, isn't it?

I thought of your still life,
the one you applied the oil cloth to.

And I thought, what
if I used wallpaper?

PABLO: The wallpaper, it, it,
it is itself and stands for itself.

You build up the illusion
and call attention to it.

It's, oh it's brilliant.

BRAQUE: I proposed to
Marcelle last week.

PABLO: Congratulations.

BRAQUE: You don't approve.

PABLO: Of course I do.

Marcelle is wonderful.

BRAQUE: And yet your dark
eyes flicker with doubt.

PABLO: You've just created
something completely new.

You work when you want, how you want.

Don't you worry having a wife and
a family will interfere with that?

BRAQUE: Flaubert said,
"be regular and orderly in your life,

so you can be violent
and creative in your work."

BRAQUE: I intend to have the most
regular, orderly family imaginable.

PABLO: I would love to have children.

BRAQUE: Well, then you
should get married too.

PABLO: Fernande is anything
but regular and orderly.

BRAQUE: I didn't mean Fernande.

It is time to grow up.

Find yourself a suitable
wife, settle down.

PABLO: Collage breaks all the rules.

You can use anything
you want on the canvas.

Dirt and sand, wood.

Or paper that looks like wood.

We can bring everyday
objects in, too.

A strip of newspaper, or wallpaper.

FERNANDE: He spent all weekend
shopping for wallpapers.

PABLO: It is difficult to find ones that
are ordinary enough to evoke everyday life.

LOUIS: You cannot just stick
anything on a canvas and call it art.

PABLO: Why not?

LOUIS: Then the idea of
art becomes meaningless.

EVA: I think it sounds exciting.

I'd love to see one of
your collages, Pablo.

LOUIS: Eva, you know I love you,
but you're a terrible art critic.

You have no visual or spatial sense.

FERNANDE: Eva has the best
taste of any woman I know.

Look at this home.

It's beautiful just like she is.

She even sewed the curtains.

PABLO: Well, you're very talented.

Fernande has never
even sewn a button.

She just throws the shirt
out and buys another one.

EVA: What's going on
with you and Pablo?

You seem irritated with him.

FERNANDE: All he ever
talks about is work.

EVA: You don't realize
how lucky you are.

Louis is never excited
about anything.

At least Pablo is passionate.

FERNANDE: For his art. Not for me.

EVA: I thought you two spend most
of your time together in bed.

FERNANDE: Not anymore.

EVA: I had a dream I left Louis.

I ran out of the house
but I had nowhere to go.

FERNANDE: Can I ask you a favor?

If the topic comes up with
Pablo, will you say that you

and I are going for dinner
together tomorrow?

EVA: Why?

PABLO: Eva.

EVA: You said you were having problems
finding

the right wallpaper for
your collages, so...

I brought a roll of old
ones I had in the closet.

PABLO: Oh. Thank you. Come in.

Fernande is out to
dinner with some friends.

I thought you were going.

EVA: I, I changed my mind.

They're nothing special.

PABLO: They're perfect.

This was very kind of you, Eva.

EVA: Well, you've always
been very kind to me.

PABLO: You belong in a Vermeer.

EVA: Don't I belong in a Picasso?

PABLO: I would love to
paint you some time.

EVA: Will you have a drink with me?

Wine or something?

PABLO: Why didn't you go to dinner?

EVA: I don't like that
Italian painter Oppi.

I heard he was going to be there.

PABLO: I don't really know him.

Why don't you like him?

EVA: Pablo, can I ask you something?

PABLO: You just did.

EVA: What if you found
out that, that...

a friend of yours was
lying to his lover?

Would you tell?

PABLO: Lying about what?

EVA: A-About having an affair.

PABLO: What business is that of mine?

EVA: I should go.

PABLO: Is it this Oppi character?

EVA: I'm so sorry, Pablo.

I didn't know if I should tell,
but I found out she was...

(birds squawking)

MARCEL: Guess who is awake?

FRANÇOISE: How is he this morning?

MARCEL: The same as every day.
He wants you.

FRANÇOISE: Will you
watch Claude for me?

Mm-hmm.

Mommy...

FRANÇOISE: You don't want to get up.

PICASSO: Oh, Françoise. Please.

The more I live, the more I die.

Todo es... nada.

FRANÇOISE: Well, you're not dead yet.

PICASSO: My stomach bother all night.

It's, it's probably a tumor.

FRANÇOISE: Pablo, Dr. Gutman
says you are perfectly healthy.

PICASSO: No, no. D-Dr. Gutman
doesn't care if I live or die

as long as he gets his first edition!

FRANÇOISE: Even so,
the day is waiting.

PICASSO: Well, now I understand why
they execute condemned men at dawn.

You know, the light is so hideous, just uh,
f-force you to stare at it is, my, my head

it spins and makes
me dizzy and-and...

FRANÇOISE: You'll feel better
once you start working.

PICASSO: Hmm. Well maybe you are...
maybe you are right.

What would I do without you?

FRANÇOISE: Besides you have to get
up, an old friend is coming to visit.

PICASSO: "First World Congress of
Intellectuals for Peace."

I'm not an intellectual.

PAUL: Of course you are.

And your presence would
send a message to the world.

PICASSO: I am not a French citizen.

I-I can't get a passport.

PAUL: The Poles will
grant you a visa.

PICASSO: I'll issue a statement.

I stand for life a,
against, uh, death.

And I stand for peace
against, uh, war.

Something like that.

PAUL: It's not enough.

PICASSO: I give interviews.
I pose for photos.

I live humbly since
I joined the party.

PAUL: Pablo, it's not simply a que...

PICASSO: I can't go to Warsaw.

I have too much work to do.

Besides, I, I, I couldn't leave Françoise
alone with the baby, not in her condition.

No.

PAUL: When you joined the party,
you said your art was a weapon.

Hmm?

That you were a true revolutionary.

And now you're staying here to what?

Be a nursemaid? Huh?

That is how you are
going to fight Fascism?

PICASSO: Don't talk
to me about Fascism.

When the Nazis came to Paris and
everyone else ran away, I stayed.

PAUL: And that was brave, Pablo.

But the world is different now.

The Fascists don't have to be on
your doorstep to threaten you.

A single bomb can
destroy an entire city.

The next war could annihilate us all.

If you care about your family, their
future, you'll come to the conference.

People idolize you.

Inspire them to take on
the cause of world peace.

DR. LAMAZE: It's
dangerous to ignore this.

FRANÇOISE: Will it affect the baby?

DR. LAMAZE: We can usually bring
the pressure down with medication.

PICASSO: Be direct for God's sake.

DR. LAMAZE: This can be very
dangerous for Françoise and the baby.

I want you to be seen three
times a week at the hospital.

PABLO: No, no, no, no.
No hospital. No.

You come to us. I'll pay for it.

DR. LAMAZE: She needs to
be monitored properly.

That cannot be done here.

FRANÇOISE: I thought
you weren't going.

PICASSO: Paul convinced me that I
am not doing enough for the Party.

FRANÇOISE: Maybe I'll actually get some
painting done

without you here to bother me.

PICASSO: Don't, don't worry, th,
the doctor will look after you.

And so will Claude.

Yeah, you will look
after Mommy, won't you?

FRANÇOISE: How long will you be gone?

PICASSO: Just, uh, one week. Nothing.

EVA: This week has been perfect.

PABLO: We can keep the house for
the rest of the summer if you want.

FERNANDE: Pablo!

PABLO: You shouldn't have come here.

FERNANDE: Is she here?

PABLO: You know that she is.

FERNANDE: Pablo, why
are you doing this?

PABLO: Why did you
go to bed with Oppi?

FERNANDE: I was just so lonely.

You are always busy with your work.

And it was like you couldn't see me,
even when I was right there.

But it was a mistake.

PABLO: And you don't think mistakes
come with any consequences?

FERNANDE: So this is what? Revenge?

PABLO: Maybe it was.

FERNANDE: I know, I understand.

You're right, Pablo.
I deserved it. Now come home.

Come home, we can go
back to the way things were.

PABLO: No, we can't, we can't.

FERNANDE: We can.

PABLO: I love her, Fernande.

FERNANDE: But she's so conventional.

PABLO: No, everything
with her is easy.

With you, everything is hard.

FERNANDE: Pablo, I can change.

PABLO: No, she's not bitter.
Or spiteful.

She wants to take care of me.

FERNANDE: I can take care of you.

PABLO: No, you can't.

But you should try to
take care of yourself.

FERNANDE: You would make me think
there's something wrong with me.

But maybe it's you.

You broke every promise you ever made
me and you'll do the same to her.

You couldn't even keep your vow to God when
your sister was dying because your art is

always more important.

PABLO: I don't want to fight with you.

Not anymore.

I think that the journalist was talking

"And it was the Germans who pushed up the

Apollinaire will still be there.

You can enlist together.

PABLO: If I go to Nice,
it will be to stop him.

I wish I could stop you.

BRAQUE: What do you want?

German occupation and domination?

PABLO: We are artists, not soldiers.

Painting won't save France from
the German military machine.

I'm not even French,
Georges, I'm Spanish.

BRAQUE: And what has
France done for you?

Given you a home where you're free to paint
whatever you want, love whoever you want.

France has made you a rich man.

PABLO: So to show my gratitude, I should
run across a field and bury my bayonet in

another man's belly?

BRAQUE: If that is
what it takes, yes.

PABLO: You are blinded
by nationalism, Georges.

This war is not for France,
it is-it is not for freedom.

BRAQUE: Coward.

PABLO: It is for
imperialists and bankers!

BANKER: I just need one more
signature, Monsieur Picasso.

EVA: 100,000 francs?

Why are you withdrawing
so much money?

PABLO: So if this horrible war
causes the bank to fail,

I can take care of you and the

beautiful babies we
are going to have.

Are you feeling all right?

PICASSO: I want to make Mademoiselle
Gilot a signatory on my accounts.

BANKER: I'll just

plane crashes on the way to Poland?

FRANÇOISE: If you're so afraid

I have never trusted anyone
else to handle my money before.

FRANÇOISE: And all these

And a maid and a secretary.

PICASSO: Oh, Françoise.

FRANÇOISE: Perhaps His Lordship would
at least allow me to hire a nanny?

PICASSO: You know how that

She's so innocent.

She still wants a family.

PABLO: You'll have
beautiful children.

BRAQUE: Every night I dream
about leaving the trench.

As soon as I'm over the top,
my fear turns to terror.

My nose fills with Sulphur.

I taste metal on the
roof of my mouth.

She'll never understand
and neither will you.

PABLO: No, I, I don't
suppose I could.

BRAQUE: You stayed at home painting and
now I may never be able to paint again.

PABLO: Braque is right.

I hid in my studio while
the rest of you suffered.

I am so sorry, Guillaume.

APOLLINAIRE: You were
right not to go, Pablo.

Artists should create, not destroy.

PABLO: But what have I created?

Not even a child.

Only pretty pictures
for Eva and Gaby.

I should have at least tried to
create something to tell the world

how I feel about this wretched war.

MARIE: We heard you donated a million
francs to the striking miners!

What a magnanimous gesture.

PAUL: You're becoming quite
the philanthropist, Pablo.

MARIE: And now, you're doing the art
for the Paris peace conference as well.

What will you paint?

PICASSO: I don't know yet.

PAUL: Marie's trying
to get me to attend.

FRANÇOISE: You should go.
Paul Robeson is coming from America.

PAUL: Hmm.

FRANÇOISE: Do you know him?

PAUL: The singer?

FRANÇOISE: His father
was a runaway slave.

He and Pablo have been corresponding.

PAUL: Marie and I were thinking, with
all the causes you have been taking up,

perhaps you would donate a few painting
to our little Museum in Antibes.

PICASSO: Oh, your
museum is a cause now?

MARIE: Art is its
own cause, is it not?

PICASSO: You cater to rich tourists.

MARIE: Well, I suppose, but,
a gift from you would really help us.

PAUL: Perhaps I can
help you in return.

We heard you got trouble traveling to
Poland because you don't have a passport.

I still have friends in the Conseil
des Ministres who could secure

French citizenship for you.

PICASSO: First you demand a gift then
you want me to change my nationality?

I'm Spanish.
I represent Spain in exile.

PAUL: Pablo, I do not mean...

PICASSO: And as long as a Fascist
dictator rules over my people,

I will stand in solidarity with them.

MARIE: Françoise, people are staring.

PICASSO: And what gives you the
right to ask for my paintings?

Do you think I paint them for you?

What do you think an artist is?

An idiot who paints to
decorate the walls of museums?

And why have you stopped eating?

Food here isn't good enough for you?

MARIE: Françoise!

FRANÇOISE: Don't look at me.
I agree with him.

PICASSO: Thank you
for taking my side.

FRANÇOISE: We are allies, Pablo.

PICASSO: In Warsaw,
a Soviet donkey

told me I should make art with

a more easily understood symbolism.

FRANÇOISE: I'm sure you
appreciated his suggestion.

PICASSO: Even if I agree
with it, I wouldn't know how.

I mean, I, sense, I see, I paint.

The next day even I, I, I
don't know how I have done it.

I need a universal symbol, but I
can't find it except instinctively

and, and unconsciously.

FRANÇOISE: If you want something
instinctive, go back to the beginning.

PICASSO: My beginning
was picadors and pigeons.

FRANÇOISE: Hmm. Then start there.

PABLITO: My horse
doesn't look real, Papa.

I want to paint like you.

JOSÉ: I will teach you, Pablito.

PABLITO: My horse doesn't
look like your pigeon...

PABLO: You have taught
me all I need to know.

PAUL: A pigeon?

PICASSO: A dove. Paloma in Spanish.

My father bred them.

PAUL: Honestly, I was expecting
a worker holding a hammer

or someone laying down his sword.

PICASSO: Too literal.

But the Bible does
tell beautiful stories.

Like the paloma bringing an olive
branch to Noah after the flood.

PAUL: Yes. To symbolize that
God had made peace with mankind.

It's beautiful, Pablo.

PICASSO: Hmm. And it's also hideous.

One day, my father
brought home a baby bird.

And I saw a pair of
doves peck it to death.

Now how is that
for a symbol of peace?

PAUL: I don't understand you.

PICASSO: Art is the lie
that tells the truth.

Don't try to understand.
You have to feel.

And I hope this dove
makes people feel.

The truth.

That we are capable of the
most horrible violence.

Which is why we must
fight so hard against it.

FRANÇOISE: It feels as though
the baby is fighting me.

It wants to stay, but I want it out.

DR. LAMAZE: I agree. It's time
to induce labor. I'll call Pablo.

FRANÇOISE: No. The last place
he wants to be is a hospital.

It would upset him.

DR. LAMAZE: Françoise,
this is his child, too.

FRANÇOISE: But he's at
the Peace Conference.

It's important.

DR. LAMAZE: More
important than his family?

FRANÇOISE: Oh.

PICASSO: Oh, oh, oh!

FRANÇOISE: Look at her.

PICASSO: She's a work of art.

FRANÇOISE: And we made her. Together.

PICASSO: Paloma.
We will call her Paloma.

FRANÇOISE: Now that's a lovely name.

PICASSO: That we will always
