BBC Great Lives: Picasso

A good program by BBC - Great Lives: Picasso. Available to listen here.

"Matthew Parris presents the biographical series in which his guests choose someone who has inspired their lives. Photographer David Bailey first saw Picasso's work in Look magazine in the 1950s - it was a revelation to him. He discusses the founder of Cubism's work and the enigma of the man himself, and their influence on him."

Video: Paul McCartney - Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me). Paul McCartney paid homage to Picasso in the song Picasso's Last Words (Drink to Me), which can be found on the Band on the Run album.

Lyrics excerpt:

"The grand old painter died last night
His paintings on the wall
Before he went he bade us well
And said goodnight to us all.
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know i can't drink any more
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know i can't drink any more"
