These amazing photographs of Picasso were taken at his request at the height of his fame when he was curious to know how his works would look in 3D. The photographer, Robert Mouzillat, was a celebrated French publisher, brilliant inventor and captivating eccentric who had, with his engineer father, perfected a ground-breaking 3D camera in the 1940s. This collection provides a unique, intimate and vivid record of Picasso at home, in his studio and garden, and at the bullring in Arles, France.
The quality of the photographs is outstanding. They show Picasso with famous friends, family and admirers. These include his son, Paolo, and Jacqueline Rocque whom Picasso married in 1961. Also John Richardson, his official biographer, Jaime Sabartés, Spanish surrealist, Jean Cocteau, French writer and film producer, and similarly well-known people close to Picasso.
People, places and works of art captured and brought to life photographically through the magic of 3D and the unrestrained brilliance of photographer Robert Mouzillat. Altogether a deeply intriguing glimpse into the personal life of the world's most famous artist. These unique images will be displayed on 3D screens.
