Episode 2075 | The Canvas That Changed Everything
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025
In this episode, three students take a close look at The Studio in Avignon, checking out what it felt like when Picasso worked there back in 1907. Instead of just listing facts, they dig into how the messy attic, jammed with drawings and carvings inspired by African art, fueled the raw vibe of Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. While one focuses on why it shocked people and the fear, another ties it to influence and exploitation, whereas the third links it to the depiction of the women. Because each sees things differently, their chat blends old records, outside influences, and gut reactions to show how the artwork shook up its time. Since the space was so packed with ideas and objects, it ended up sparking a total shift in how artists approached work during the 1900s.
