How the wives and many lovers of Pablo Picasso influenced his art
Picasso is said to have declared: "for me there are only two kinds of women, goddesses and doormats". Although he was rarely faithful, and often difficult to handle, he was also passionate about the women he loved, and his paintings reflect the hugely important place they held in his life. Today the National Gallery in London opens a major exhibition of Picasso’s work. Jenni discusses the impact of Picasso’s wives and mistresses on his paintings with the exhibition’s curator, Anne Robbins, and the artist and writer Eva Bosch
‘Picasso: Challenging the Past’ is at the National Gallery, London, 25 February - 7 June 2009
