Genius or misogynist - or both? Fifty years after art icon Pablo Picasso's death, his legacy is reassessed by comedian Hannah Gadsby in a Brooklyn Museum exhibition in New York, this time through a contemporary, feminist lens.

In her 2018 Netflix special Nanette, Gadsby expressed "hate" for the Spanish master of Cubism and the creator of works like Guernica and Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.
