The Eye Molds the Canvas, 16 Jan 2003
By S. Levin "Chick with Books" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mystery of Picasso [DVD] [1956] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
A Fabulous film showing how an artist- in this case Picasso- takes a blank sheet of paper or canvas and transforms it into a work of art. Thru a special process that lets the inks bleed thru to the wrong side of the canvas where a camera captures the developement of a drawing from the first placement of a brush stroke to the final completed drawing/painting. Sometimes it is truly amazing to see what comes forth from the humble beginnings. We also are able to follow the developement of paintings as well with the aide of stop motion photography. I wish I were an art teacher so I could share this with my students! An enjoyable film for anyone with an interest in art!

MASTERFUL!, 11 Sep 2003
By Luis M. Benito - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mystery of Picasso [DVD] [1956] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This film is a real treat, as gives us an insight into the work of Picasso by literally allowing us to see the master at work and how his simple brush strokes incredibly evolve into masterpieces, in some instances even metamorphosing before our eyes from a figurative piece in to a cubist expression of the same. This is a film that I was pleasantly surprised to see my 5-year-old son sit through shearing my amazement as Picasso worked for the camera. It's a definite "must have" for those that like Picasso and who, after viewing this movie, will appreciate his work even more!

Unforgettable, 27 Dec 2002
By Jose M Estrada - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mystery of Picasso [DVD] [1956] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I once saw this film on television, late at night. This was at least ten years ago, and despite having seen it only once, many of the images are still fresh in my mind. Along with Alex Cox's "Vincent", an extraordinary documentary about the life of Vincent Van Gogh, this is probably the best portrait of the work and life of an artist. Worth every penny.
