Picasso and His Romances in the Documentary "Beauty and the Beast"

The BBC has shed light on the life of artist Pablo Picasso in a documentary prepared on the 59th anniversary of his death, highlighting the darker side of the famous artist's personality, illustrating how he became a target for activists due to his "mistreatment of women." The film includes a series of interviews with the artist's family and explores Picasso's troubling history with women. Director John O'Rourke told The Express, "A lot of accusations surround the fact that when he was 45, he was in a relationship with a 17-year-old girl." The BBC stated that its three-part documentary "reveals the life and work of a man who was as much a monster as he was a genius."
