Hidden Portraits
£12.99Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Therese Walter, Dora Maar, Francoise Gilot, and Jacqueline Roque. These six extraordinary women shared Pablo Picasso’s life and were instrumental in his career, yet they have long been dismissed as simply passive models or muses. This title reveals that their lives were – without exception – remarkable. All six were unconventional, independent and talented. All six were tested, both by Picasso’s subterfuges and betrayals, and the wider social turbulence they lived through. The extent to which each influenced Picasso’s art in major new directions has never been fully acknowledged. Sue Roe delves deeply into the truth of the women’s experiences to tell the story of Picasso’s women from their point of view.
