Pablo Picasso is one of the greatest artists of all time – & right up until his death in 1973 he was the most prolific of artists.

Pablo Picasso is one of the greatest artists of all time – & right up until his death in 1973 he was the most prolific of artists.

Many films have dealt with these later years – the art, the affairs & the wide circle of friends. But where did this all begin? What made Picasso in the first place?  Too long ignored, it is time to look at the early years of Picasso; the upbringing & the learning that led to his extraordinary achievements. Looking carefully at two key early periods – the so-called Blue Period & Rose Period – the film takes us all the way back to 1907 & the creation of a critical painting in the history of art – Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.

We can't stop the future from arriving, no matter what drugs we're on.

We can't stop the future from arriving, no matter what drugs we're on.

Even if nearly every part of us becomes robotic, mechanical fingers crossed we'll still have our minds. Hopefully we'll use them for things like compassion, instead of just chasing what's 'better' like a hamster on a wheel. If we can do that, we're on the yellow brick road to happiness.

With a little help from monk Gelong Thubten, who explains how the mind works, and neuroscientist Ash Ranpura who explains where everything that makes us 'us' can be found in the brain.  

'How to be Human' is the show you need to help you upgrade your mind as much as you've upgraded your iPhone.

“I envy the Japanese” Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo.  In the exhibition on which this film is based – VAN GOGH & JAPAN at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam – one can see why.

Though Vincent van Gogh never visited Japan it is the country that had the most profound influence on him & his art. One cannot understand Van Gogh without understanding how Japanese art arrived in Paris in the middle of the 19^th century & the profound impact it had on artists like Monet, Degas & above all, Van Gogh. The film travels not only to France & the Netherlands but also to Japan to further explore the remarkable heritage that so affected Van Gogh & made him the artist we know of today.
