Picasso: Women Of His Life, A Tribute

It is a widely held view that Picasso's creative work received a fresh impetus with each new muse in his life. Personalities like Françoise Gilot and Dora Maar are among those whose entire life and creative work are acknowledged, not just the years they spent at Picasso's side.

This volume pays tribute to the individual fates of the ten women who left their mark on Picasso's life: his mother, Doña María Picasso Lopez, his sister María Dolores Ruiz Picasso, his friend Gertrude Stein and his muses Fernande Olivier, Eva Gouel, Olga Chochlowa, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot and Jacqueline Roque. The book shows the connection between the man and artist and all the woman of his life - women as different from each other as the periods in the Spanish artist's oeuvre with which each of them in turn is associated.
