Un peintre, un homme, un génie. Picasso fut un homme pour qui peindre voulait dire voir, et qui mieux que personne "vit" son siècle. Visionnaire, oui. Engagé corps et biens dans son absolu. Homme public dont l'existence tumultueuse fascina toujours les foules, il était aussi un personnage farouche, secret, imprévisible.
