00:00:04,909 --> 00:00:11,209
"Art is a lie that
makes us realise truth"
2
00:00:20,934 --> 00:00:25,355
The Adventures of Picasso
3
00:00:25,356 --> 00:00:30,599
A thousand loving lies told by
Hans Alfredson & Tage Danielsson
4
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,521
Picasso paintings
recreated by Per Ahlin
5
00:00:33,522 --> 00:00:39,058
Made in "AB svenska ords
ateljeer" in Hollywood
close to Tomelilla [Sweden]
6
00:00:39,059 --> 00:00:44,254
All similarities between
this film and reality are
entirely coincidental.
7
00:00:45,333 --> 00:00:48,702
Hello, My name is Elsa
Beskow and I'm going...
8
00:00:48,703 --> 00:00:51,366
to tell you about one of my
colleges in the art world...
9
00:00:55,123 --> 00:00:58,965
Nobody know the exact
hour of his birth...
10
00:00:59,070 --> 00:01:02,461
It was either at 5 PM
11
00:01:02,492 --> 00:01:04,545
"alas cinco de la tarde"
12
00:01:06,755 --> 00:01:11,491
or during the midnight hour,
which he himself claimed...
13
00:01:11,492 --> 00:01:15,125
He, one of the strangest
men of our time...
14
00:01:15,432 --> 00:01:21,670
He, a descendent of the
16th century knight...
15
00:01:21,671 --> 00:01:22,959
"Juan de Leon"
16
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:26,422
Who was killed in the war
between Loja and Granada
17
00:01:26,423 --> 00:01:29,527
He, Pablo Picasso...
18
00:01:29,528 --> 00:01:32,889
whom was born in Malaga
almost a century ago
19
00:02:44,182 --> 00:02:48,716
Pablo was brought up
in the poor area of Malaga
20
00:02:49,232 --> 00:02:51,957
His mother - Dona Maria - was...
21
00:02:51,994 --> 00:02:53,467
Happy
22
00:02:53,469 --> 00:02:54,425
Tender
23
00:02:54,426 --> 00:02:55,936
Independent
24
00:02:55,937 --> 00:02:57,373
Sensitive
25
00:02:57,374 --> 00:02:58,663
Warm blooded
26
00:02:58,664 --> 00:02:59,842
Proud
27
00:02:59,844 --> 00:03:01,633
and affectionate
28
00:03:01,634 --> 00:03:05,122
But his father - Don Jose - was
very sloppy in his work
29
00:03:10,704 --> 00:03:15,502
The young Pablo Picasso soon
proved to be quite artistic.
30
00:03:23,459 --> 00:03:28,236
The proud father decided to introduce
him to the art-academy in Madrid
31
00:03:38,053 --> 00:03:42,989
"The rain in Spain stays
mainly in the plain"
32
00:07:48,454 --> 00:07:51,765
There was a genie in the bottle
33
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:56,478
a magical force that would
make his art come to live
34
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:07,861
The education at the
academy was academic
35
00:15:02,817 --> 00:15:07,303
Neither of his parents could
ever come to grips with...
36
00:15:07,304 --> 00:15:10,053
Don Jose's near
death experience.
37
00:15:10,450 --> 00:15:14,983
The tension at home grew
odious for the young artist...
38
00:15:14,984 --> 00:15:16,853
and he decided to leave.
39
00:18:45,778 --> 00:18:49,889
It was the
new years eve of 1899
40
00:18:50,801 --> 00:18:55,944
The Parisians outside
celebrated with Champagne...
41
00:18:56,420 --> 00:18:59,453
dancing in the streets
and fire-works.
42
00:19:29,552 --> 00:19:31,586
Paris 1910
43
00:19:32,645 --> 00:19:36,542
Pablo Picasso was
still poor and hungry
44
00:19:37,121 --> 00:19:39,603
He paints and paints and paints
45
00:19:39,928 --> 00:19:44,084
But selling and selling and selling
he is NOT
46
00:22:25,816 --> 00:22:28,377
That was the birth of Cubism
47
00:23:18,308 --> 00:23:22,541
Picasso returned to the
vagabonds in the circus world...
48
00:23:22,697 --> 00:23:26,023
These warm hearted
artistic souls...
49
00:23:26,026 --> 00:23:30,091
whom - free of charge - gave
there pathetic faces...
50
00:23:30,092 --> 00:23:31,914
to the artist
51
00:26:57,515 --> 00:27:01,446
The American author
Gertrude Stein's salon...
52
00:27:01,478 --> 00:27:05,603
was the center of the
French art world...
53
00:27:06,074 --> 00:27:08,308
and her constant companion...
54
00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:10,379
her chaperon
55
00:27:10,608 --> 00:27:12,220
Alice B. Toklas
56
00:28:43,061 --> 00:28:47,676
Now Picasso was at the center
of the Parisian art world...
57
00:28:47,740 --> 00:28:49,737
with people such as
[Georges] Braque...
58
00:28:49,772 --> 00:28:50,592
[Henri] Matisse...
59
00:28:50,611 --> 00:28:52,687
Fernand Lege...
60
00:28:52,689 --> 00:28:54,391
Pompidou...
61
00:28:54,392 --> 00:28:55,888
entrecote...
62
00:28:55,889 --> 00:28:57,500
Carl Larsson...
63
00:28:57,501 --> 00:28:58,829
Popeye [Karl-Alfred]...
64
00:29:07,010 --> 00:29:08,442
Jenny Nystrom...
65
00:29:11,124 --> 00:29:12,594
an omelette...
66
00:29:12,595 --> 00:29:14,599
and Rembrandt
67
00:29:19,117 --> 00:29:23,160
And there is Hemingway
sitting with his knitting
68
00:29:23,963 --> 00:29:29,190
There was also a Erik Satie the
often misunderstood composer
69
00:29:30,734 --> 00:29:35,470
Guillaume Apollinaire,
the absurdist poet...
70
00:29:41,783 --> 00:29:46,337
Henri Rousseau, the
painting customs officer
71
00:29:49,972 --> 00:29:54,267
Vincent van Gogh,
the guy with the ear
72
00:29:56,807 --> 00:30:00,486
And not less than two
Toulouse-Lautrec
73
00:30:11,095 --> 00:30:13,077
And the famous Mimi...
74
00:30:13,078 --> 00:30:17,652
the woman that inspired Puccini
to write "your hands are so cold"
75
00:34:36,745 --> 00:34:43,117
What is a man, or even an
artist other than a small flake...
76
00:34:43,119 --> 00:34:46,740
in the vast and
silent universe?
77
00:34:50,149 --> 00:34:51,230
Well then!
78
00:34:52,422 --> 00:34:56,927
Let's stop for a minute to
examine the regular life...
79
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,384
of a lonely artist in
the 1910's
80
00:34:59,804 --> 00:35:03,254
Is there anything lonelier
then a genius?
81
00:35:05,551 --> 00:35:09,603
Th... that is relatively
lonelier than a genius?
82
00:35:12,731 --> 00:35:15,863
He rose early in the morning,
put on his clothes...
83
00:35:17,779 --> 00:35:20,923
humming of a cheerful
morning-song...
84
00:35:25,875 --> 00:35:27,483
and then he went outside...
85
00:35:27,817 --> 00:35:31,095
to prepare himself for
an intensive workday...
86
00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:34,854
with a long brisk walk
in "Bois de Boulogne"
87
00:35:38,596 --> 00:35:39,642
LONG
88
00:35:42,698 --> 00:35:43,952
BRISK!
89
00:35:45,942 --> 00:35:48,337
He stopped every
now and then...
90
00:35:48,887 --> 00:35:51,363
to "skissa"
[skissa similar to kissa=urinate]
91
00:35:53,804 --> 00:35:55,750
Skissa=To sketch
92
00:36:03,413 --> 00:36:06,827
Here the master is painting
a pair of eyeglasses
93
00:36:08,355 --> 00:36:10,198
A... a bicycle...
94
00:36:12,757 --> 00:36:14,891
Eh... an elk
95
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:16,936
A painting!
96
00:36:18,576 --> 00:36:21,900
Pablo Picasso continued
wrestling with his art
97
00:36:42,934 --> 00:36:45,516
The Swedish-American
multi-millionaire...
98
00:36:45,517 --> 00:36:48,392
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim
loved art...
99
00:36:49,919 --> 00:36:51,311
and artists
100
00:38:09,905 --> 00:38:11,571
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim...
101
00:38:11,572 --> 00:38:14,851
was one of the many people that
didn't understand Picasso's work...
102
00:38:14,852 --> 00:38:18,467
but she knew it was expensive,
hence immortal.
103
00:38:41,017 --> 00:38:43,826
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim became
a persistent pester for Picasso
104
00:38:43,827 --> 00:38:47,172
She strived to be part of his
life and work, at any price
105
00:39:18,370 --> 00:39:22,248
He fled to the tranquility
of nature
106
00:39:32,028 --> 00:39:34,473
It's not easy being famous.
107
00:40:12,940 --> 00:40:15,062
To make his friend happy...
108
00:40:15,063 --> 00:40:17,252
the kind-hearted Rousseau
invited Pablo...
109
00:40:17,253 --> 00:40:21,464
and Apollinaire to his
secret forest...
110
00:40:21,465 --> 00:40:27,835
where no human-being had set
foot except Rousseau himself.
111
00:40:42,458 --> 00:40:47,958
Guillaume Apollinaire read one
of his deeply philosophical poems...
112
00:40:47,959 --> 00:40:49,759
about the human essence,
113
00:41:29,871 --> 00:41:35,087
This was to be the onset to the
memorable masquerade ball...
114
00:41:35,088 --> 00:41:39,527
which Picasso held in his salon,
in honour of his friend Rousseau.
115
00:42:11,438 --> 00:42:13,723
What a fabulous crowd!
116
00:42:13,724 --> 00:42:15,637
There was Jean Cocteau...
117
00:42:15,638 --> 00:42:17,222
Enrico Caruso
118
00:42:22,969 --> 00:42:25,658
Braque and Matisse was
seen off the shelf
119
00:42:25,659 --> 00:42:27,684
Marie and Pierre Curie
120
00:42:27,685 --> 00:42:31,719
[Alexander] Graham Bell, the
inventor of the telephone-kiosk
121
00:42:33,117 --> 00:42:37,575
Emperor Wilhem II was dancing
with his elegant wife
122
00:42:39,785 --> 00:42:41,075
Lenin
123
00:42:41,812 --> 00:42:43,948
And the young
Winston Churchill
124
00:42:47,744 --> 00:42:53,084
Even the French president was
there, dressed as a balloon
125
00:42:59,384 --> 00:43:04,050
It was an unforgettable
farewell party for Rousseau...
126
00:43:04,051 --> 00:43:08,032
the little customs officer,
the king of imagination!
127
00:46:24,079 --> 00:46:26,953
The year was 1914
128
00:46:30,825 --> 00:46:34,247
The future had never
looked so bright...
129
00:46:36,716 --> 00:46:39,883
workers and artists
joined together...
130
00:46:40,024 --> 00:46:42,966
people would never stand
against each other...
131
00:46:42,967 --> 00:46:49,192
faith in the international solidarity
was equally strong as...
132
00:46:49,194 --> 00:46:52,324
the faith in the blessing
of the industrial era.
133
00:46:57,490 --> 00:47:01,615
The optimistic view of development
in the future was stronger than ever...
134
00:47:01,616 --> 00:47:04,195
The machines were supposed
to save the world!
135
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:09,867
Freedom [Liberté]
136
00:47:10,706 --> 00:47:11,930
Equality [Egalité]
137
00:47:12,911 --> 00:47:14,716
Fraternity [Fraternité]
138
00:47:15,528 --> 00:47:17,554
Would at long
last come true
139
00:47:18,584 --> 00:47:19,506
In short...
140
00:47:20,795 --> 00:47:22,674
it was the time
of a new dawn.
141
00:49:48,604 --> 00:49:51,396
There would never be another war...
142
00:49:51,397 --> 00:49:56,775
a new generation of artists came
to Paris to build a better world.
143
00:52:56,292 --> 00:53:00,271
And that's why Picasso made
decorations and costumes...
144
00:53:00,272 --> 00:53:02,629
for the famous
Russian ballet
145
00:53:11,099 --> 00:53:15,556
Djagilev's production, Erik
Satie's music and...
146
00:53:15,557 --> 00:53:18,760
Picasso's decor would
dumbfound the world.
147
00:53:32,207 --> 00:53:35,229
The world premiere
was in London.
148
00:54:53,033 --> 00:54:55,979
It was three hours
before the premiere...
149
00:54:55,980 --> 00:54:59,516
the tension was high.
150
00:57:52,801 --> 00:57:56,523
Picasso had had enough with
the foul stench of high society
151
00:57:56,525 --> 00:58:00,444
He fled from
Djagilev and Olga
152
00:58:05,825 --> 00:58:09,977
He hid in a little obscure
cabaret in Monparnas, Paris
153
01:00:43,647 --> 01:00:47,070
Picasso was spellbound
by Sirkka's singing...
154
01:00:47,899 --> 01:00:50,822
and it would lead
him to his destiny
155
01:02:23,256 --> 01:02:24,570
She wasn't home.
156
01:06:26,013 --> 01:06:29,296
That was the birth
of "Monster-ism"
157
01:07:04,541 --> 01:07:09,615
Picasso and his father
fled to New York
158
01:07:49,296 --> 01:07:52,340
New York, the
big apple
159
01:08:50,016 --> 01:08:54,373
There was a prohibition on
alcohol during the 1930's...
160
01:08:54,374 --> 01:08:57,755
after the ban on alcohol
there was a ban on art...
161
01:09:03,506 --> 01:09:05,705
artists went underground...
162
01:09:05,706 --> 01:09:11,077
Picasso created the forbidden
poison with a pencil stoke.
163
01:09:17,420 --> 01:09:20,922
During the great art
prohibition in America...
164
01:09:20,931 --> 01:09:26,756
the federal police
defused this menace...
165
01:09:29,379 --> 01:09:32,848
the police imposed
constant raids...
166
01:09:45,366 --> 01:09:48,707
a remarkable job is
done thanks to "art-dogs"...
167
01:09:48,708 --> 01:09:53,698
Here's Jackie, specialising
in maritime motifs.
168
01:09:59,490 --> 01:10:03,694
There's a golden era for
the smuggling business.
169
01:10:04,032 --> 01:10:06,358
Isn't it Mr. Guggenheim...
170
01:10:06,359 --> 01:10:10,799
Ingrid Svensson- Guggenheim's
husband
171
01:10:12,903 --> 01:10:16,477
There is a steady flow of art
in all shapes and sizes...
172
01:10:16,478 --> 01:10:18,815
from the Canadian border.
173
01:10:19,303 --> 01:10:22,804
"Beauty is the opium
for the people"...
174
01:10:22,805 --> 01:10:25,161
Franklin D. Roosevelt
proclaims...
175
01:10:25,162 --> 01:10:27,887
and receives support from
his completely legal wife.
176
01:11:05,664 --> 01:11:10,489
Don Jose had established himself
as "The French Connection"...
177
01:11:10,490 --> 01:11:16,457
between the American crime
syndicates and the French artist.
178
01:11:17,317 --> 01:11:25,164
One day Picasso himself had
to deliver paintings to a "Mrs. X".
179
01:11:46,758 --> 01:11:49,889
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim
didn't give up that easily.
180
01:13:48,196 --> 01:13:51,608
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim
introduced Picasso to different...
181
01:13:51,609 --> 01:13:56,274
camouflaged underground
galleries, where rivaling...
182
01:13:56,275 --> 01:13:59,737
gangsters operated
their "big business".
183
01:16:30,944 --> 01:16:33,633
[Translating to Swedish]
184
01:18:39,971 --> 01:18:44,633
[Norwegian accent]
185
01:21:39,057 --> 01:21:41,527
It was the late 1930's...
186
01:21:41,530 --> 01:21:48,012
Picasso returned to a Europe
where savages rose yet again.
187
01:22:56,248 --> 01:23:00,772
The Germans marched in to
Paris the spring of 1940.
188
01:23:41,872 --> 01:23:47,100
Quite surprisingly, Picasso
collaborated with the Germans...
189
01:23:47,101 --> 01:23:50,012
by designing their
camouflaged uniforms.
190
01:23:56,337 --> 01:24:02,416
They soon started to suspect that
Picasso wasn't really on their side.
191
01:24:02,417 --> 01:24:07,096
But Picasso - unlike some of
his friends - stayed in Europe.
192
01:24:07,097 --> 01:24:10,226
One day, while sitting
in his cold studio...
193
01:24:10,227 --> 01:24:12,878
eating a cake
that he got from...
194
01:24:12,879 --> 01:24:15,975
the black market in exchange
for a "petit genre" [painting]...
195
01:24:15,976 --> 01:24:18,774
portraying "The rape of
the Sabine women"...
196
01:24:38,903 --> 01:24:43,804
Don Jose had risen to the rank
of "Hauptbahnhof" in SS...
197
01:24:43,806 --> 01:24:46,347
he was in charge of
"operation ostrich"...
198
01:24:46,348 --> 01:24:49,588
which was supposed to track down
members of the opposition.
199
01:24:49,589 --> 01:24:54,525
He had told his son not to get
involved in any "risky business".
200
01:27:31,676 --> 01:27:33,112
Peace finally arrived
201
01:28:15,664 --> 01:28:19,719
Pablo was tired of the-old-era,
settled down in the Riviera.
202
01:28:54,331 --> 01:28:56,357
You little man...
203
01:28:58,862 --> 01:29:02,106
you've already decided between
capitalism and socialism...
204
01:29:04,022 --> 01:29:08,147
well, well, well, but you live
like a capitalist at any rate...
205
01:29:09,769 --> 01:29:13,305
you don't exactly hang
out with proletarians...
206
01:29:23,374 --> 01:29:27,413
well, well, well, you
believe in equality...
207
01:29:27,414 --> 01:29:31,208
However, do you really think
people have as much as you?
208
01:29:32,386 --> 01:29:34,781
There is a difference...
209
01:29:35,260 --> 01:29:38,575
between what those
fishermen over there earn...
210
01:29:40,490 --> 01:29:42,517
and what you get paid.
211
01:29:45,649 --> 01:29:50,031
It's not your fault that the prices
on your paintings are high...
212
01:29:51,912 --> 01:29:54,564
and it's not your fault that
fish is so cheap either...
213
01:29:54,565 --> 01:29:56,922
and you can't refuse to
take the money since...
214
01:29:56,923 --> 01:29:59,426
the art dealer would just use
it to buy another Cadillac.
215
01:30:00,413 --> 01:30:03,177
You're just too good.
216
01:30:06,638 --> 01:30:09,181
But what are you doing to
change the world?
217
01:30:11,244 --> 01:30:12,976
Well, you make pictures.
218
01:30:13,859 --> 01:30:16,770
Everybody needs
art and beauty.
219
01:30:17,802 --> 01:30:21,153
Those fishermen also
need art and beauty.
220
01:30:52,096 --> 01:30:54,087
No, don't look around!
221
01:30:54,088 --> 01:30:56,664
Be happy, otherwise
you can't work.
222
01:30:56,665 --> 01:30:58,876
Skal, my friend!
223
01:33:43,594 --> 01:33:48,235
And so Picasso met
the love of his youth
224
01:33:48,236 --> 01:33:50,519
the mysterious Dolores...
225
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:55,271
who lived in exile with the
fishermen in the Riviera...
226
01:33:56,312 --> 01:34:02,390
and her granddaughter had
a strange influence on him.
227
01:34:14,989 --> 01:34:18,195
Picasso's doves flew
over the world...
228
01:34:18,196 --> 01:34:21,474
in the cold winds
of the cold war.
229
01:36:53,346 --> 01:36:57,152
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim
didn't give up that easily...
230
01:48:01,581 --> 01:48:03,816
It was the great
"Picasso crash"...
231
01:48:03,817 --> 01:48:05,866
which created panic at
the stock-exchange...
232
01:48:05,867 --> 01:48:08,127
when the signatures
suddenly disappeared...
233
01:48:08,128 --> 01:48:10,595
his painting was put on
sale at the art auctions...
234
01:48:10,596 --> 01:48:13,163
100 Picasso's for
one Donald Duck...
235
01:48:13,164 --> 01:48:16,774
His paintings was hurled
away to the scrapheap.
236
01:48:16,775 --> 01:48:18,946
Art became "soft currency".
237
01:48:18,947 --> 01:48:21,120
People started buying
collectable dinner plates...
238
01:48:21,121 --> 01:48:23,329
and pendants with the
king and queen on them.
239
01:48:24,988 --> 01:48:29,408
It echoed in the bank vaults
from the falling art collectors.
240
01:48:30,440 --> 01:48:32,392
In short, chaos.
241
01:48:42,274 --> 01:48:44,244
How the hell should I know?
