Episode Details

Have you ever seen a painting where both eyes are on the same side of the nose? Meet Pablo Picasso, one of the most brilliant and bizarre artists in history! From the time he was a baby, Picasso was obsessed with art—his very first word was even the Spanish word for pencil! By the time he was a teenager, he was already painting better than grown-up masters. But Picasso didn’t want to be normal; he wanted to shake up the entire art world. He helped invent a wild new style called Cubism, painting people and objects from several sides all at once like a crazy puzzle! In this episode of History's Not Boring, Mira and Finn uncover the unbelievable life of the man who created a Guinness World Record-breaking 147,800 artworks! Did you know the police once thought Picasso stole the world-famous Mona Lisa? Or that he had a pet goat wandering his house and a favorite little wiener dog named Lump who actually ate one of his million-dollar masterpieces? Grab your paintbrushes and join us as we explore the life of the mastermind who taught the world that art can look like absolutely anything!
