Pablo Picasso
For the fiftieth anniversary of Picasso's death, we have captured with music the symbolic stages of the artist's life: his childhood in Spain, his Parisian period and the Montparnasse of the 20's, jumps linked to his work-related "periods": cubism, realism, small notes referring to Russia and the end of his life in the South of France. It includes jazz piano, tango, and acoustic experiments... A tribute to his great paintings such as Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, Guernica, and so many other works of universal, political, and poetic significance.
