Brilliant but wilful artist Pablo Picasso meets his match in a self-assured art student who becomes his lover.
In 1943, a young painter, Françoise Gilot (Natascha McElhone) meets Pablo Picasso (Anthony Hopkins), already the most celebrated artist in the world. While serving as Picasso's muse and the mother of two of his children, Gilgot learns about his relationships with other women—including his wife, dancer Olga Khokhlova (Jane Lapotaire), and photographer Dora Maar (Julianne Moore)—and the suffering he caused.

Artists on Film—Inspired by our new exhibition, David Hockney: Pieced Together, Pictureville presents an invigorating, inspiring new strand exploring artists on film.
Kicking off with the delightful new documentary I Am Partin Parr and traveling back to explore awards darlings and innovative documentaries, this strand celebrates some of the most vital work of recent times and explores the age-old question—what makes a great artist tick?
