About this audio guide
This guide to the Musée Picasso in Antibes, near Cannes, starts at the surface of one long painting and asks what it is really made of. It moves to the autumn of nineteen forty-six, when a newly freed France had little to sell an artist, and to the curator, the photographer and the painter who struck a deal inside this old Grimaldi castle. Best heard standing close to La Joie de vivre.
