Description: These are 2 rare promotional DVDs. The promotional DVDs are stamped with basic information and come in plain, plastic sleeves. The DVDs are in perfect mint condition and have never been viewed. The first DVD is the entire 100 minute documentary from the year 2000: Pablo Picasso: A Primitive Soul. Pablo Picasso was a remarkably prolific artist whose styles were groundbreaking for the 20th century. His equal appetite for women is presented in this documentary one can, for the first time, see his portraits of the women he lived with, loved, abused and had children with. It is a 100 minutes but it will hold students spellbound. He was a womanizer, and artist. Most of the images come from the Picasso Museum in Paris and are well documented. I loved the interviews with his daughter by Maria Therese, wife Francoise and child Paloma. They added much first hand information about Picasso and his other wives and mistresses. The artist himself is also featured creating some of his paintings. This film has hundreds of paintings and drawings explained chronologically and in detail by interesting people who actually knew Picasso. Especially interesting to students is how much Picasso's art was influenced by his personal relationships with women. Over 100 minutes in length, students especially will enjoy it. Students exhibited enthusiasm and understanding of Picasso's art, that, in turn, opened their eyes to other forms of 20th century art and increased their appreciation for art in general. They see Picasso as an imperfect genius who speaks to them in spite of his faults. A secondary benefit is opening dialogue about Picasso's great rival, Matisse. Norman Mailer sums it up when as he sees the flawed man and the great artist existing in the same man. The second DVD is the entire 90 minute documentary from 1999: 13 Days in the Life of Picasso. With a refreshing approach to biography, 13 Days in the Life of Picasso is a smart, warm portrait of the man who revolutionized visual art early in the 20th century. Taking 13 days between 1881 and 1935 as representative of his life at the time, the film looks at Pablo Picasso's life and work through archival footage including interviews with the man and his contemporaries, thoughtful and well-researched narration, and lingering shots of his many paintings and drawings. Images from his native Spain and his home in Paris fill in the background, capturing his personal landscape effortlessly. From his personal tragedies to his political transformation symbolized by Guernica, the viewer finds a deeper understanding of how this child prodigy came to be so influential and create works of such power.
