Documentary about the women who inspired Pablo Picasso’s work. By his death in 1973, he had become one of the 20th century’s most influential and prolific artists. He has been painted as many men – genius, womaniser, egomaniac – and his reputation is still fiercely debated. Brought up in Malaga, he would represent himself as the mythological minotaur – half man, half bull. The bull craved the women who would feed his life and his art.

1. Vienna 1908.
Series in which Dr James Fox tells the story of three cities in three exceptional years – cities whose artists, thinkers, writers and musicians set the world on a new course. In the first programme he tells the story of Vienna in 1908, a city of amazing creativity and dangerous tension. This was the year Gustav Klimt painted his masterpiece The Kiss, Sigmund Freud revealed the Oedipus complex, Egon Schiele produced startling pictures of humanity stripped to the bare essentials and both music and architecture took a bold step in a radical new direction. But it was also the year a struggling young artist named Adolf Hitler arrived in the city, a year that would put Vienna and Europe on the road to destruction.
