Secret Picasso unveiled

Madrid: A `secret' painting by the young Pablo Picasso was unveiled at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, northern Spain, on Tuesday after experts found it hidden beneath layers of paint on another of his canvasses. The 104-year-old painting was on Tuesday hailed as Picasso's first Paris picture, painted during a visit in 1900 when he was 19. The painting, which was reconstructed using x-ray techniques, shows the inside of a turn-of-the-century nightclub, with cancan dancers and a crowd of laughing people, some wearing top hats, watching them. It was painted over by Picasso, who used the canvass for a study of a man, woman and child walking down Rue de Montmartre.
