Description
|
|
|
|
Picasso once said, "It is my misfortune—and probably my delight—to use things as my passions tell me." And so he did, across a stylistically pluralist oeuvre in which his amorous life could be traced through the appearances of women in his work. Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Thérèse Walter in 1927, and she soon became his favorite model and muse, as well as his secret lover. Illustrated throughout with black and white figures and large color plates, this book looks at the ten years that followed, as Picasso became more involved with Marie-Thérèse and intensified his sculptural and graphic work, ranging between classical and surrealist styles. At the same time he went through an acrimonious and unsuccessful divorce with his wife Olga and fathered a daughter named Maya with Marie-Thérèse, who hoped in vain that one day Picasso would marry her.
