Find out more about the early years of one of the 21st century's greatest artists at a screening of Young Picasso, a film directed by Phil Grabsky. It takes viewers through Pablo Picasso's journey across Malaga, Barcelona and Paris, charting his road to success before he became the phenomenon we all know about.

The film zooms in on two key periods - the Blue Period and the Rose Period, up to 1907 - and on the creation of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, a landmark painting in the history of art, which Picasso completed at just 25 years of age.
