Picasso at the Lapin Agile
Steve Martin's witty and zany comedy takes place in 1904 at Le Lapin Agile (The Nimble Rabbit), an actual bar on the top of Montmartre that was a popular hangout for the Parisian artists of the day. The story concerns a fictional meeting between a young Pablo Picasso who is on the verge of creating Cubism and a young Albert Einstein who is about to publish his Theory of Relativity. The two of them and the other patrons of the bar go back and forth in their discussions on science vs. art.
