Edward Quinn’s film is truly of great historical importance to the art world. Jacqueline (Roque) Picasso has given it her complete endorsement. In her own words, this film “is of exemplary honesty and objectivity and puts Picasso in true perspective…the painter completely devoted to his destiny as a painter.”
