Night Waves - Picasso at the National Gallery

Logo for Night Waves - Picasso at the National Gallery

Matthew Sweet visits the National Gallery's new exhibition Picasso: Challenging the Past, its first devoted to the great Spanish artist. The exhibition includes over 60 of Picasso's seminal works, and shows how he radically transformed the heritage of the European painting tradition for his own purposes. Matthew also reviews the film The International, in which Clive Owen stars as an interpol agent investigating corruption in a global banking organisation.
