What's left unsaid at this Picasso blockbuster? Plus, Snuff Puppets work with Ukrainian refugees: Can you separate the misogynist from the art? If you walk around the winter blockbuster The Picasso Century at the National Gallery of Victoria, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this wasn’t a live debate. Daniel speaks with Didier Ottinger from the Centre Pompidou, who hopes the exhibition he’s curated presents the 20th Century's most famous artist as a sensitive man defined by his friendships and rivalries and shaped by his extraordinary times. Art historian Ksenia Soboleva and writer Shannon Lee beg to differ. Plus, Snuff Puppets are renowned for their punk aesthetic and mission is to make art for everybody. Founder Andy Freer speaks to Daniel from the Polish city of Krakow, where the troupe is working with Ukrainian refugees and their rich folklore. And we meet Penelope Cain, whose work fuses art and science. by The Art Show
