Story :

Involved in the Spanish Civil War, threatened by the Nazi occupiers, glorified at the Liberation, starred during the Cold War: is Picasso's magnified aura really in tune with reality? Without denying his genius, Manuelle Blanc examines the heroic figure of the artist in the Resistance, sifting through the reality of historical events and his actions. Drawing on archive footage and the insights of specialists (academics, critics and art historians),her film sheds light on the weaknesses, contradictions and ambiguities of the man who remains, half a century after his death, an undisputed icon of modern art.
