Was it her audience. Her nose her high cheekbones public picasso is believed to have painted his beloved wife shot clean more than any other model some four hundred times and thats not even including the numerous portraits which are not named for her but whose features are clearly hers it wasnt you know to nish more day she was of
course his model and muse and lived out this role at his side in the last years of picassos Life Jacqueline was really very close to her husband there are documents that also show a clean was for a time a manager of picassos work off the. Plane was married to because so during the final creative phase of his life for a long time many of her portraits were only known through Black And White photos of picasso studios because the works were in the familys possession. Jacquelines daughter whose childhood portrait is also in the exhibition granted rare permission for them to be shown. For the curators in pottstown its like having all their christmases come it once i dont believe in christmas but i do like Hot Chocolate so its like having the best Hot Chocolate and its lots of fun and its fantastic
and its also fantastic to do the Research Behind it the exhibition starts with the first portraits of shot clean from one Nine Hundred Fifty Four shortly after the seventy two year old. Caso met the twenty six year old and runs through to his final acts at the end of his life after painting his many female portraits picasso began painting men again it was a very prolific face and his life. Hes number one goal was always to create and as time was passing by and he was raiding his seventys and eightys and even ninety years he knew that the clock was ticking. Picasso the late work ends with a painting that was still in progress at the time of the artists death it seems to depict two figures and visitors are left to imagine how picasso might have completed and. Well it might be a tiny country with just over Eight Million inhabitants and yet israel is an
absolute powerhouse of Television Production and most people have seen the emmy winning us series homeland starring claire danes. Is adapted from the israeli original Prisoners Of War and meanwhile dozens of other hebrew language series have sold worldwide to the likes of h. B. O. Amazon and netflix where their Success Borders on the phenomenal. So what is the secret to their edgy creativity when my colleague Scott Roxboro went to jerusalem to find out how the israelis make such High Octane Drama on a shoestring budget. Israeli t. V. Draws its inspiration from the frontline of political terror. Banned from the most personal of family drama. Slipped. By the spittle of just. At the end will i in t. V. Conference in jerusalem writers from Around The World come to learn how to make drama the israeli way partly its an attitude. Israelis just dont seem to have time for niceties we just cut to the chase we say it like it is and therefore were not afraid of really challenging subjects were not politically correct in the positive sense so were not offenses but were also ready to tackle issues head on. As one of the countrys top t. V. Producers donna stern focuses on uniquely israeli stories so well do less of Cop Procedurals shows no hospital shows kind of you know americans do that better than we can but we can tell stories that regularly resonate from here so posttraumatic stress disorder for example. Should sit down to the much of
a list of the. Dozens of good to shoot something missing in. The hit israeli series when heroes flaw i took on the taboo subject of traumatised soldiers from the war in lebanon. We thought that no one will want to speak about the fact that we have a lot of traumatic soldiers and its was like unspeakable about and. Loudness os us thinking about. This side of the story amazed us speaking the unspeakable and making it personal has become the secret to success in israeli t. V. The conflict and contradictions of Israeli Society are mind for the small screen. For writer karen ma good leet it was her experience as a mother raising an autistic boy in a society that doesnt mention the a word this means. Her series was an instant hit
and the first foreign show to be remade by the b. B. C. The original aired just before the israel. Masquerade celebrations of police. I went down to the street i found about twelve costumes of the boy of the autistic boy with this lazy yellow blazer he has in the headphones and i almost cried they said wow like every kid in israel not every but some kids in israel think its really cool to be this it to stick boy and i think you can see a change in front of you and its very exciting and thats where you see the power of television. The biggest myth in israeli t. V. Right now its a comedy about autistic adults amazon is remaking for the us. Facing taboos to make stories that matter is really t. V. Showing the world the way. And Scott Rockstro Has joined me in the studio thanks for coming in scotts youre just back from jerusalem and the
conference thats an incredible output of compelling series that weve been observing coming out of israel gives us a bit more background as to why theyre so successful yeah i think israel is that theyve taken all the disadvantages they have been a small country not having very much money and theyve done it to their advantage so israel doesnt have any sound stages for example so all their shows they have to shoot on location and that gives theres a real sense of real is a real sort of gritty realism and then because they dont have the money to spend on Special Effects theyve got to focus on on character so the Israeli Television writer spent a lot of time developing characters going really really deep in the plots and i think that is reflected i mean you can see that in a series. Like like you know its got a sense of authenticity because it comes directly from the character who created it this is a show about israeli commandos who goes undercover in a Palestinian Terrorist group and the guy who created whos also the star of the show he was in one of those Commando Units so this is this is this is from the
inside is credibly authentic i think thats one of the great strengths of his. It was serious and it really lends so much more passion to what theyre doing doesnt it and theyre not afraid to tackle taboos about politics relations what about religion obviously topic yeah this may be the hot topic in israel and its interesting when i was there the biggest trend that everyone is talking about is orthodox series Series Television series set in the ultra Orthodox Community in jerusalem and theres a whole bunch of them perhaps the most. Successful is on netflix is shes a. Sort of romantic small little story its about a man whos trying to find a young man is trying to find a wife but he falls in love with a Widow Widower and she is viewed by the Orthodox Community as being damaged goods we have a small clip but we take a look. If you could be sure. You very much someone should have to. I dont know. I would one machine mushroom. Rather ghoulish in
laughter but i dont. Think if youre going to believe. It because of the show. The workers who shoot to it so hard. To live with they love you to move you with their lives you. Know didnt ship and you know all of us who are you going to go over to. My question. Thats another example is really serious writing what you know because i mean that series and all the other orthodox set shows in israel are written and created by people from the Orthodox Community so its not a view from the outside its really from with inside this very sort of hidden hidden World Community that most israelis dont we are only as they see it and the next theyre the neighbors but they dont know theyve never seen inside their window ok so now i have literally gobbled up some of these series but how are they
being received in israel for instance yeah i mean these are often controversial found was a very controversial show but israelis really like controversy and i think thats part of their success i mean i feel like on the spectrum which shows mentioned in the piece is about autistic adults trying to reintegrate in society and it doesnt pull punches but it really finds the finds the funny in these very delicate situations we have a small clip of one of the characters autistic character whos going to his first Job Interview lets take a hawk. I dont want to give. One of my. Own money for. Going to russia to do it to. Show to real impact is after it aired the number of israeli businesses asking for autistic employees really skyrocketed so you can see a real direct impact of a t. V. Show like this on a society its almost as if Television In Israel is one of their top exports what would your tip for the next one to watch because weve seen quite a selection here yeah i mean with us which is on netflix now is a great show but theres a new show coming up called just for today which is about a criminals at a Halfway House with trying To Reintegrate Society by the guy who created the show called in treatment which was very very successful almost a decade. Psychiatrist exact it was attacked all over the world this shows going to debut next month and im really excited in the first two episodes looks fantastic so thats thats just for today thank you very much.
