00:00:17,367 --> 00:00:23,667
"Art is a lie that
makes us realise truth"
2
00:00:33,392 --> 00:00:37,813
The Adventures of Picasso
3
00:00:37,814 --> 00:00:43,057
A thousand loving lies told by
Hans Alfredson & Tage Danielsson
4
00:00:43,058 --> 00:00:45,979
Picasso paintings
recreated by Per Ahlin
5
00:00:45,980 --> 00:00:51,516
Made in "AB svenska ords
ateljeer" in Hollywood
close to Tomelilla [Sweden]
6
00:00:51,517 --> 00:00:56,712
All similarities between
this film and reality are
entirely coincidental.
7
00:00:57,791 --> 00:01:01,160
Hello, My name is Elsa
Beskow and I'm going...
8
00:01:01,161 --> 00:01:03,824
to tell you about one of my
colleges in the art world...
9
00:01:07,581 --> 00:01:11,423
Nobody know the exact
hour of his birth...
10
00:01:11,528 --> 00:01:14,919
It was either at 5 PM
11
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:17,003
"alas cinco de la tarde"
12
00:01:19,213 --> 00:01:23,949
or during the midnight hour,
which he himself claimed...
13
00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:27,583
He, one of the strangest
men of our time...
14
00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:34,128
He, a descendent of the
16th century knight...
15
00:01:34,129 --> 00:01:35,417
"Juan de Leon"
16
00:01:35,418 --> 00:01:38,880
Who was killed in the war
between Loja and Granada
17
00:01:38,881 --> 00:01:41,985
He, Pablo Picasso...
18
00:01:41,986 --> 00:01:45,347
whom was born in Malaga
almost a century ago
19
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:01,174
Pablo was brought up
in the poor area of Malaga
20
00:03:01,690 --> 00:03:04,415
His mother - Dona Maria - was...
21
00:03:04,452 --> 00:03:05,925
Happy
22
00:03:05,927 --> 00:03:06,883
Tender
23
00:03:06,884 --> 00:03:08,394
Independent
24
00:03:08,395 --> 00:03:09,831
Sensitive
25
00:03:09,832 --> 00:03:11,121
Warm blooded
26
00:03:11,122 --> 00:03:12,300
Proud
27
00:03:12,302 --> 00:03:14,091
and affectionate
28
00:03:14,092 --> 00:03:17,580
But his father - Don Jose - was
very sloppy in his work
29
00:03:23,162 --> 00:03:27,960
The young Pablo Picasso soon
proved to be quite artistic.
30
00:03:35,917 --> 00:03:40,694
The proud father decided to introduce
him to the art-academy in Madrid
31
00:03:50,511 --> 00:03:55,447
"The rain in Spain stays
mainly in the plain"
32
00:08:00,912 --> 00:08:04,223
There was a genie in the bottle
33
00:08:04,263 --> 00:08:08,936
a magical force that would
make his art come to live
34
00:09:16,088 --> 00:09:20,319
The education at the
academy was academic
35
00:15:15,275 --> 00:15:19,761
Neither of his parents could
ever come to grips with...
36
00:15:19,762 --> 00:15:22,511
Don Jose's near
death experience.
37
00:15:22,908 --> 00:15:27,441
The tension at home grew
odious for the young artist...
38
00:15:27,442 --> 00:15:29,311
and he decided to leave.
39
00:18:58,236 --> 00:19:02,347
It was the
new years eve of 1899
40
00:19:03,259 --> 00:19:08,402
The Parisians outside
celebrated with Champagne...
41
00:19:08,878 --> 00:19:11,911
dancing in the streets
and fire-works.
42
00:19:42,010 --> 00:19:44,044
Paris 1910
43
00:19:45,103 --> 00:19:49,000
Pablo Picasso was
still poor and hungry
44
00:19:49,579 --> 00:19:52,061
He paints and paints and paints
45
00:19:52,386 --> 00:19:56,542
But selling and selling and selling
he is NOT
46
00:22:38,274 --> 00:22:40,835
That was the birth of Cubism
47
00:23:30,766 --> 00:23:34,999
Picasso returned to the
vagabonds in the circus world...
48
00:23:35,155 --> 00:23:38,481
These warm hearted
artistic souls...
49
00:23:38,484 --> 00:23:42,549
whom - free of charge - gave
there pathetic faces...
50
00:23:42,550 --> 00:23:44,372
to the artist
51
00:27:09,973 --> 00:27:13,904
The American author
Gertrude Stein's salon...
52
00:27:13,936 --> 00:27:18,061
was the center of the
French art world...
53
00:27:18,532 --> 00:27:20,766
and her constant companion...
54
00:27:20,768 --> 00:27:22,837
her chaperon
55
00:27:23,066 --> 00:27:24,678
Alice B. Toklas
56
00:28:55,519 --> 00:29:00,134
Now Picasso was at the center
of the Parisian art world...
57
00:29:00,198 --> 00:29:02,195
with people such as
[Georges] Braque...
58
00:29:02,230 --> 00:29:03,050
[Henri] Matisse...
59
00:29:03,069 --> 00:29:05,145
Fernand Lege...
60
00:29:05,147 --> 00:29:06,849
Pompidou...
61
00:29:06,850 --> 00:29:08,346
entrecote...
62
00:29:08,347 --> 00:29:09,958
Carl Larsson...
63
00:29:09,959 --> 00:29:11,287
Popeye [Karl-Alfred]...
64
00:29:19,468 --> 00:29:20,900
Jenny Nystrom...
65
00:29:23,582 --> 00:29:25,052
an omelette...
66
00:29:25,053 --> 00:29:27,057
and Rembrandt
67
00:29:31,575 --> 00:29:35,618
And there is Hemingway
sitting with his knitting
68
00:29:36,421 --> 00:29:41,648
There was also a Erik Satie the
often misunderstood composer
69
00:29:43,192 --> 00:29:47,928
Guillaume Apollinaire,
the absurdist poet...
70
00:29:54,241 --> 00:29:58,795
Henri Rousseau, the
painting customs officer
71
00:30:02,430 --> 00:30:06,725
Vincent van Gogh,
the guy with the ear
72
00:30:09,265 --> 00:30:12,944
And not less than two
Toulouse-Lautrec
73
00:30:23,553 --> 00:30:25,535
And the famous Mimi...
74
00:30:25,536 --> 00:30:30,110
the woman that inspired Puccini
to write "your hands are so cold"
75
00:34:49,203 --> 00:34:55,575
What is a man, or even an
artist other than a small flake...
76
00:34:55,577 --> 00:34:59,198
in the vast and
silent universe?
77
00:35:02,607 --> 00:35:03,688
Well then!
78
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,385
Let's stop for a minute to
examine the regular life...
79
00:35:09,386 --> 00:35:11,842
of a lonely artist in
the 1910's
80
00:35:12,262 --> 00:35:15,712
Is there anything lonelier
then a genius?
81
00:35:18,009 --> 00:35:22,061
Th... that is relatively
lonelier than a genius?
82
00:35:25,189 --> 00:35:28,321
He rose early in the morning,
put on his clothes...
83
00:35:30,237 --> 00:35:33,381
humming of a cheerful
morning-song...
84
00:35:38,333 --> 00:35:39,941
and then he went outside...
85
00:35:40,275 --> 00:35:43,553
to prepare himself for
an intensive workday...
86
00:35:43,628 --> 00:35:47,312
with a long brisk walk
in "Bois de Boulogne"
87
00:35:51,054 --> 00:35:52,100
LONG
88
00:35:55,156 --> 00:35:56,410
BRISK!
89
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,795
He stopped every
now and then...
90
00:36:01,345 --> 00:36:03,821
to "skissa"
[skissa similar to kissa=urinate]
91
00:36:06,262 --> 00:36:08,208
Skissa=To sketch
92
00:36:15,871 --> 00:36:19,285
Here the master is painting
a pair of eyeglasses
93
00:36:20,813 --> 00:36:22,656
A... a bicycle...
94
00:36:25,215 --> 00:36:27,349
Eh... an elk
95
00:36:28,338 --> 00:36:29,394
A painting!
96
00:36:31,034 --> 00:36:34,358
Pablo Picasso continued
wrestling with his art
97
00:36:55,392 --> 00:36:57,974
The Swedish-American
multi-millionaire...
98
00:36:57,975 --> 00:37:00,850
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim
loved art...
99
00:37:02,377 --> 00:37:03,769
and artists
100
00:38:22,363 --> 00:38:24,029
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim...
101
00:38:24,030 --> 00:38:27,309
was one of the many people that
didn't understand Picasso's work...
102
00:38:27,310 --> 00:38:30,925
but she knew it was expensive,
hence immortal.
103
00:38:53,475 --> 00:38:56,284
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim became
a persistent pester for Picasso
104
00:38:56,285 --> 00:38:59,630
She strived to be part of his
life and work, at any price
105
00:39:30,828 --> 00:39:34,706
He fled to the tranquility
of nature
106
00:39:44,486 --> 00:39:46,931
It's not easy being famous.
107
00:40:25,398 --> 00:40:27,520
To make his friend happy...
108
00:40:27,521 --> 00:40:29,710
the kind-hearted Rousseau
invited Pablo...
109
00:40:29,711 --> 00:40:33,922
and Apollinaire to his
secret forest...
110
00:40:33,923 --> 00:40:40,293
where no human-being had set
foot except Rousseau himself.
111
00:40:54,916 --> 00:41:00,416
Guillaume Apollinaire read one
of his deeply philosophical poems...
112
00:41:00,417 --> 00:41:02,217
about the human essence,
113
00:41:42,329 --> 00:41:47,545
This was to be the onset to the
memorable masquerade ball...
114
00:41:47,546 --> 00:41:51,985
which Picasso held in his salon,
in honour of his friend Rousseau.
115
00:42:23,896 --> 00:42:26,181
What a fabulous crowd!
116
00:42:26,182 --> 00:42:28,095
There was Jean Cocteau...
117
00:42:28,096 --> 00:42:29,680
Enrico Caruso
118
00:42:35,427 --> 00:42:38,116
Braque and Matisse was
seen off the shelf
119
00:42:38,117 --> 00:42:40,142
Marie and Pierre Curie
120
00:42:40,143 --> 00:42:44,177
[Alexander] Graham Bell, the
inventor of the telephone-kiosk
121
00:42:45,575 --> 00:42:50,033
Emperor Wilhem II was dancing
with his elegant wife
122
00:42:52,243 --> 00:42:53,533
Lenin
123
00:42:54,270 --> 00:42:56,406
And the young
Winston Churchill
124
00:43:00,202 --> 00:43:05,542
Even the French president was
there, dressed as a balloon
125
00:43:11,842 --> 00:43:16,508
It was an unforgettable
farewell party for Rousseau...
126
00:43:16,509 --> 00:43:20,490
the little customs officer,
the king of imagination!
127
00:46:36,537 --> 00:46:39,411
The year was 1914
128
00:46:43,283 --> 00:46:46,705
The future had never
looked so bright...
129
00:46:49,174 --> 00:46:52,341
workers and artists
joined together...
130
00:46:52,482 --> 00:46:55,424
people would never stand
against each other...
131
00:46:55,425 --> 00:47:01,650
faith in the international solidarity
was equally strong as...
132
00:47:01,652 --> 00:47:04,782
the faith in the blessing
of the industrial era.
133
00:47:09,948 --> 00:47:14,073
The optimistic view of development
in the future was stronger than ever...
134
00:47:14,074 --> 00:47:16,653
The machines were supposed
to save the world!
135
00:47:21,098 --> 00:47:22,325
Freedom [Liberté]
136
00:47:23,164 --> 00:47:24,388
Equality [Egalité]
137
00:47:25,369 --> 00:47:27,174
Fraternity [Fraternité]
138
00:47:27,986 --> 00:47:30,012
Would at long
last come true
139
00:47:31,042 --> 00:47:31,964
In short...
140
00:47:33,253 --> 00:47:35,132
it was the time
of a new dawn.
141
00:50:01,062 --> 00:50:03,854
There would never be another war...
142
00:50:03,855 --> 00:50:09,233
a new generation of artists came
to Paris to build a better world.
143
00:53:08,750 --> 00:53:12,729
And that's why Picasso made
decorations and costumes...
144
00:53:12,730 --> 00:53:15,087
for the famous
Russian ballet
145
00:53:23,557 --> 00:53:28,014
Djagilev's production, Erik
Satie's music and...
146
00:53:28,015 --> 00:53:31,218
Picasso's decor would
dumbfound the world.
147
00:53:44,665 --> 00:53:47,687
The world premiere
was in London.
148
00:55:05,491 --> 00:55:08,437
It was three hours
before the premiere...
149
00:55:08,438 --> 00:55:11,974
the tension was high.
150
00:58:05,259 --> 00:58:08,981
Picasso had had enough with
the foul stench of high society
151
00:58:08,983 --> 00:58:12,902
He fled from
Djagilev and Olga
152
00:58:18,283 --> 00:58:22,435
He hid in a little obscure
cabaret in Monparnas, Paris
153
01:00:56,105 --> 01:00:59,528
Picasso was spellbound
by Sirkka's singing...
154
01:01:00,357 --> 01:01:03,280
and it would lead
him to his destiny
155
01:02:35,714 --> 01:02:37,028
She wasn't home.
156
01:06:38,471 --> 01:06:41,754
That was the birth
of "Monster-ism"
157
01:07:16,999 --> 01:07:22,073
Picasso and his father
fled to New York
158
01:08:01,754 --> 01:08:04,798
New York, the
big apple
159
01:09:02,474 --> 01:09:06,831
There was a prohibition on
alcohol during the 1930's...
160
01:09:06,832 --> 01:09:10,213
after the ban on alcohol
there was a ban on art...
161
01:09:15,964 --> 01:09:18,163
artists went underground...
162
01:09:18,164 --> 01:09:23,535
Picasso created the forbidden
poison with a pencil stoke.
163
01:09:29,878 --> 01:09:33,380
During the great art
prohibition in America...
164
01:09:33,389 --> 01:09:39,214
the federal police
defused this menace...
165
01:09:41,837 --> 01:09:45,306
the police imposed
constant raids...
166
01:09:57,824 --> 01:10:01,165
a remarkable job is
done thanks to "art-dogs"...
167
01:10:01,166 --> 01:10:06,156
Here's Jackie, specialising
in maritime motifs.
168
01:10:11,948 --> 01:10:16,152
There's a golden era for
the smuggling business.
169
01:10:16,490 --> 01:10:18,816
Isn't it Mr. Guggenheim...
170
01:10:18,817 --> 01:10:23,257
Ingrid Svensson- Guggenheim's
husband
171
01:10:25,361 --> 01:10:28,935
There is a steady flow of art
in all shapes and sizes...
172
01:10:28,936 --> 01:10:31,273
from the Canadian border.
173
01:10:31,761 --> 01:10:35,262
"Beauty is the opium
for the people"...
174
01:10:35,263 --> 01:10:37,619
Franklin D. Roosevelt
proclaims...
175
01:10:37,620 --> 01:10:40,345
and receives support from
his completely legal wife.
176
01:11:18,122 --> 01:11:22,947
Don Jose had established himself
as "The French Connection"...
177
01:11:22,948 --> 01:11:28,915
between the American crime
syndicates and the French artist.
178
01:11:29,775 --> 01:11:37,622
One day Picasso himself had
to deliver paintings to a "Mrs. X".
179
01:11:59,216 --> 01:12:02,347
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim
didn't give up that easily.
180
01:14:00,654 --> 01:14:04,066
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim
introduced Picasso to different...
181
01:14:04,067 --> 01:14:08,732
camouflaged underground
galleries, where rivaling...
182
01:14:08,733 --> 01:14:12,195
gangsters operated
their "big business".
183
01:16:43,402 --> 01:16:46,091
[Translating to Swedish]
184
01:18:52,429 --> 01:18:57,091
[Norwegian accent]
185
01:21:51,515 --> 01:21:53,985
It was the late 1930's...
186
01:21:53,988 --> 01:22:00,470
Picasso returned to a Europe
where savages rose yet again.
187
01:23:08,706 --> 01:23:13,230
The Germans marched in to
Paris the spring of 1940.
188
01:23:54,330 --> 01:23:59,558
Quite surprisingly, Picasso
collaborated with the Germans...
189
01:23:59,559 --> 01:24:02,470
by designing their
camouflaged uniforms.
190
01:24:08,795 --> 01:24:14,874
They soon started to suspect that
Picasso wasn't really on their side.
191
01:24:14,875 --> 01:24:19,554
But Picasso - unlike some of
his friends - stayed in Europe.
192
01:24:19,555 --> 01:24:22,684
One day, while sitting
in his cold studio...
193
01:24:22,685 --> 01:24:25,336
eating a cake
that he got from...
194
01:24:25,337 --> 01:24:28,433
the black market in exchange
for a "petit genre" [painting]...
195
01:24:28,434 --> 01:24:31,232
portraying "The rape of
the Sabine women"...
196
01:24:51,361 --> 01:24:56,262
Don Jose had risen to the rank
of "Hauptbahnhof" in SS...
197
01:24:56,264 --> 01:24:58,805
he was in charge of
"operation ostrich"...
198
01:24:58,806 --> 01:25:02,046
which was supposed to track down
members of the opposition.
199
01:25:02,047 --> 01:25:06,983
He had told his son not to get
involved in any "risky business".
200
01:27:44,134 --> 01:27:45,570
Peace finally arrived
201
01:28:28,122 --> 01:28:32,177
Pablo was tired of the-old-era,
settled down in the Riviera.
202
01:29:06,789 --> 01:29:08,815
You little man...
203
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:14,564
you've already decided between
capitalism and socialism...
204
01:29:16,480 --> 01:29:20,605
well, well, well, but you live
like a capitalist at any rate...
205
01:29:22,227 --> 01:29:25,763
you don't exactly hang
out with proletarians...
206
01:29:35,832 --> 01:29:39,871
well, well, well, you
believe in equality...
207
01:29:39,872 --> 01:29:43,666
However, do you really think
people have as much as you?
208
01:29:44,844 --> 01:29:47,239
There is a difference...
209
01:29:47,718 --> 01:29:51,033
between what those
fishermen over there earn...
210
01:29:52,948 --> 01:29:54,975
and what you get paid.
211
01:29:58,107 --> 01:30:02,489
It's not your fault that the prices
on your paintings are high...
212
01:30:04,370 --> 01:30:07,022
and it's not your fault that
fish is so cheap either...
213
01:30:07,023 --> 01:30:09,380
and you can't refuse to
take the money since...
214
01:30:09,381 --> 01:30:11,884
the art dealer would just use
it to buy another Cadillac.
215
01:30:12,871 --> 01:30:15,635
You're just too good.
216
01:30:19,096 --> 01:30:21,639
But what are you doing to
change the world?
217
01:30:23,702 --> 01:30:25,434
Well, you make pictures.
218
01:30:26,317 --> 01:30:29,228
Everybody needs
art and beauty.
219
01:30:30,260 --> 01:30:33,611
Those fishermen also
need art and beauty.
220
01:31:04,554 --> 01:31:06,545
No, don't look around!
221
01:31:06,546 --> 01:31:09,122
Be happy, otherwise
you can't work.
222
01:31:09,123 --> 01:31:11,334
Skal, my friend!
223
01:33:56,052 --> 01:34:00,693
And so Picasso met
the love of his youth
224
01:34:00,694 --> 01:34:02,977
the mysterious Dolores...
225
01:34:02,978 --> 01:34:07,729
who lived in exile with the
fishermen in the Riviera...
226
01:34:08,770 --> 01:34:14,848
and her granddaughter had
a strange influence on him.
227
01:34:27,447 --> 01:34:30,653
Picasso's doves flew
over the world...
228
01:34:30,654 --> 01:34:33,932
in the cold winds
of the cold war.
229
01:37:05,804 --> 01:37:09,610
Ingrid Svensson-Guggenheim
didn't give up that easily...
230
01:48:14,039 --> 01:48:16,274
It was the great
"Picasso crash"...
231
01:48:16,275 --> 01:48:18,324
which created panic at
the stock-exchange...
232
01:48:18,325 --> 01:48:20,585
when the signatures
suddenly disappeared...
233
01:48:20,586 --> 01:48:23,053
his painting was put on
sale at the art auctions...
234
01:48:23,054 --> 01:48:25,621
100 Picasso's for
one Donald Duck...
235
01:48:25,622 --> 01:48:29,232
His paintings was hurled
away to the scrapheap.
236
01:48:29,233 --> 01:48:31,404
Art became "soft currency".
237
01:48:31,405 --> 01:48:33,578
People started buying
collectable dinner plates...
238
01:48:33,579 --> 01:48:35,787
and pendants with the
king and queen on them.
239
01:48:37,446 --> 01:48:41,866
It echoed in the bank vaults
from the falling art collectors.
240
01:48:42,898 --> 01:48:44,850
In short, chaos.
241
01:48:54,732 --> 01:48:56,702
How the hell should I know?
