8 aprile 1973. Al momento della morte di Picasso, un profluvio di superlativi viene associato al suo nome. Lo Stato francese, in pompa magna, ne accoglie l’opera, assimilandola alla propria storia. Ma quanti sanno che all’artista era stata rifiutata la naturalizzazione? Quanti immaginano il clima di sospetto e di esclusione di cui fu vittima, culminato nel gran rifiuto che il Louvre oppose nel 1929 alla donazione delle Demoiselles d’Avignon? Stimolata dalle molte contraddizioni che vede affiorare, Annie Cohen-Solal si lancia in una inedita quanto coraggiosa esplorazione del mondo insondabile di Picasso per sottrarre alla polvere degli archivi i segreti di una storia ancora tutta da rac...

Pourquoi le 18 juin 1901 Picasso est-il « signalé comme anarchiste » à la Préfecture de police, quinze jours avant sa première exposition parisienne ? Pourquoi le 1er décembre 1914 près de sept cents peintures, dessins et autres œuvres de sa période cubiste sont-ils séquestrés par le gouvernement français pour une période qui dure près de dix ans ? D’où vient l’absence presque totale de ses tableaux dans les collections publiques du pays jusqu’en 1947 ? Comment expliquer, enfin, que Picasso ne soit jamais devenu citoyen français ?
