"Using a specially designed transparent 'canvas' to provide an unobstructed view, Picasso creates as the camera rolls. He begins with simple works that take shape after only a single brush stroke. He then progresses to more complex paintings, in which he repeatedly adds and removes elements, transforming the entire scene at will, until at last the work is complete." This is a movie I forgot about until, well, a few minutes ago. I saw this about 10 years ago on cable, a documentary of Pablo Picasso's working progress. I was fascinated with how he just... went about his work. I need to own this, as an artist and a fan of films. This would be a great tool for work as well. Show my students this and have them use some paint and big, broad strokes. Man, I wish I had to extra income. Stupid hurricane. www.amazon.com/Mystery-Picasso-Pablo/dp/B0051URXWM/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1351857608&sr=1-1&keywords=picasso

That was pretty awesome. That's wild that the art in the film was destroyed afterwards. Imagine if a piece of that turned up somewhere.
Anyway, I think your students would love that. Maybe you'll find it super cheap somewhere at some point.

I could never just outright destroy works like that. It's amazing to see him work in the film. Had no idea what I came across at first, glad I finally remembered to look for it and see if it was on dvd.
If not, I'm just going to order it in December.

I couldn't have thrown that stuff out either, even if I were him and considered it throw away work. It was awesome to see the pictures he was doing come together. Wouldn't mind seeing this myself.

The best part of it it's video, not a series of in progress photos. Live video. I just loved that about this.
