Description

Pablo Picasso wasn’t always a genius.

In fact, he was just another broke artist until one tragic moment changed everything.


When his closest friend and creative partner took his own life, Picasso spiraled into grief. What came next? A haunting new style. A body of work soaked in sorrow. And a shift that would define modern art.


But here’s the twist:

It wasn’t just tragedy that launched him into fame…

It was his rival, Henri Matisse, who gave him the break of a lifetime, recommending Picasso for a show that would change art history forever.


This is the story of the death that made Picasso famous.

A tale of friendship, rivalry, timing…

and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes greatness needs a grave.
