Everyone knows Pablo Picasso - a brilliant artist, but few people know him from the side with which he turned to women. He can safely be called a destroyer - almost everyone he loved went crazy or committed suicide. He said that women prolong life, and if he was interested in someone, he created a whole series of works. Exactly 45 years ago, at the age of 91, Picasso passed away - we invite you to remember the artist’s seven muses.

Fernanda Olivier

Picasso met his model Fernanda Olivier, his first great love, in Paris in 1904. It was with the appearance of Fernanda that Picasso’s gloomy painting acquired color. They were young, quickly became close and went together through the poverty and obscurity of the artist's first decade in Paris. When people started buying his paintings, their relationship was already at an end. Picasso broke up with his former lovers without regret: this happened with Fernanda when the artist met Marcelle Humbert, who became his affection for the three-year period of Cubism. Fernanda’s portrait “Woman with Pears” is one of the first experiments in the period of early Cubism.

Olga Khokhlova

Picasso met the ballerina Olga Khokhlova, his first wife and mother of his first child, in Italy in 1917 while working on Russian Seasons. Diaghilev warned Picasso that they don’t joke with Russian women, they marry them. Olga Khokhlova not only became Picasso’s wife - he married her according to the Orthodox rite. Having separated after 17 years of conflicting family life, they never divorced - Picasso did not want to divide the property equally, which was required by the terms of the marriage contract.

Cooling to his wife came along with cooling to the bourgeois life that Khokhlova loved so much. The strained relationship was reflected in the paintings - if at the beginning of their love story Olga’s portraits were realistic, then by the time the marriage broke up, Picasso painted her only in the style of surrealism. “Woman with a Hat” was created in 1935, the year when Olga learned that Picasso had a child with his mistress Marie-Therese Walter. Although she left on her own, she haunted Picasso for many years - her death in 1955 brought only relief to the artist.

Maria-Therese Walter

Marie-Therese Walter appeared in Picasso's life in 1927. She was only 17, he was already 45. Before meeting the artist, she had not even heard his name. In 1935, Walter gave birth to his daughter Maya, whom he continued to visit even after breaking up with her mother. For many years, Maria Teresa wrote tender letters to her former lover, which he read to his new friends. She committed suicide four years after Picasso's death. Usually the artist depicted her as a blonde with a short haircut, but in the 1937 portrait, bright makeup and painted nails appear - a sign that Picasso was having an affair with Dora Maar.

Dora Maar

Dora Maar is the same "crying woman" by Picasso. This plot reflects not only the artist’s perception of the character of this woman, but also the pre-war mood in Europe. At the time of their acquaintance in 1935, Dora was already an established artist and photographer herself - their relationship was more of an intellectual nature than a romantic one. The break with Picasso after a nine-year romance brought Dora to a psychiatric clinic, and in recent years she led a reclusive life. Here is one of the most famous paintings from the “crying women” series.

Francoise Gilot

Françoise Gilot is the only woman who managed to get away with it after a ten-year affair with Picasso. The artist met Françoise, who was old enough to be his granddaughter, in a restaurant in 1943 - she was an excellent conversationalist, and over time, Picasso began to need her. Françoise bore him two children, a son, Claude, and a daughter, Paloma, and left with them in 1953, becoming the only woman who managed to escape the influence of Picasso without psychological problems - she became an artist, married twice, and wrote a book about Picasso, which was the basis for the film Living Life with Picasso, starring Anthony Hopkins. The image of the “flower woman” appeared in the spring of 1946, when the artist finally persuaded Françoise to move in with him.

Sylvette David

Sylvette David, with whom Picasso never had a close relationship, became the artist's muse in the 1950s - she posed for him several times in 1954, which resulted in a whole series of works - you can easily guess them by the fluffy tail of her blond hair. The affair with Sylvette did not happen - the girl was always accompanied by her groom, and she herself felt uncomfortable next to a celebrity, but meeting the great artist played into her hands - Picasso gave her one of the portraits, and with the money from its sale she was able to buy a home in Paris .

Jacqueline Rock

Jacqueline Roque - Picasso's last love and second official wife - has become the main character of his paintings in the last 20 years. At the time they met in 1953, she was 27, he was 73. Jacqueline tolerated his difficult character and called him monsignor - he lived with her until his death. She took Picasso’s departure hard, teetering on the brink of madness, and 13 years later, on the eve of a retrospective of his works, she shot herself. “Jacqueline with Crossed Arms” is one of the most famous portraits of Picasso’s last muse.

“For me, there are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats.” Pablo Picasso

“Mystery”, “Madness”, “Magic” - these are the first words that came to the minds of patrons when they tried to describe the creation of Pablo Picasso. The artist's special aura was colored by his explosive, Spanish temperament and genius. This is a combination that women could not resist.

website publishes for you the love story of a great painter.

Picasso in his youth and older age

Picasso was an amazing man with that same attractive charm that is now called charisma. However, many women could not come to terms with the artist’s character and committed suicide or went crazy. At the age of 8, Pablo had already written his first serious work, “Picador.” At the age of 16, Picasso, as if jokingly, entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. He dropped out of school just as easily. Instead of poring over books, Pablo and his friends began to play around in Madrid brothels.

At the age of 19, the artist set off to conquer Paris. Before leaving, Picasso painted a self-portrait. At the top of the picture he signed in black paint: “I am the king!” However, the “king” had a hard time in the capital of France. There was no money. One winter, to keep warm, he lit a stone fireplace with his own handiwork.

On the personal front, things were going much better.

Women have always adored Picasso.

First lover Fernande Olivier

His first lover was Fernanda Olivier (she was 18, he was 23 years old). In Paris, Pablo Picasso lives in a poor quarter in Montmartre, in a hostel where aspiring artists lived, and where Fernanda Olivier sometimes poses for them. There she meets Picasso, becomes his model and his girlfriend. The lovers lived in poverty. In the mornings they stole croissants and milk. Gradually people began to buy Picasso's paintings.

They lived together for almost a decade, and from this period a large number of both the actual portraits of Fernanda and generally female images painted from her remain.

"Fernanda in a Black Mantilla", 1905

According to researchers, she was also the model for the creation of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, one of Picasso's main paintings, a turning point for the art of the 20th century.

But there was a time when they lived apart (summer and autumn of 1907). This summer left behind bad memories. Both he and she had affairs with others. But the worst thing was that he lived with a woman who did not understand Cubism at all, she did not like him. Perhaps Picasso was experiencing organic depression; Later, when he returned to Paris, he was struck by a stomach ailment. His pre-ulcerative condition. From now on, the relationship between the brush and the canvas will not be in vain for the artist - cubism, as a complex, was as simple as playing chess in three dimensions. And they parted - Picasso and Fernanda.

Russian ballerina Olga Khokhlova

True love came to the artist in 1917, when he met one of Sergei Diaghilev’s ballerinas, Olga Khokhlova. The history of their relationship began on May 18, 1917, when Olga danced at the premiere of the ballet “Parade” at the Chatelet Theater. The ballet was created by Sergei Diaghilev, Erik Satie and Jean Cocteau, with Pablo Picasso responsible for the costumes and set design.

After they met, the troupe went on tour to South America, and Olga went with Picasso to Barcelona. The artist introduced her to his family. Mother didn't like her. Olga is a foreigner, Russian, no match for her brilliant son! Life will show that the mother was right. Olga and Picasso were married on June 18, 1918 in the Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Cathedral. Jean Cocteau and Max Jacob were witnesses at the wedding.

After they met, the troupe went on tour to South America, and Olga went with Picasso to Barcelona. The artist introduced her to his family. Mother didn't like her. Olga is a foreigner, Russian, no match for her brilliant son! Life will show that the mother was right.

Olga and Picasso were married on June 18, 1918 in the Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Cathedral. Jean Cocteau and Max Jacob were witnesses at the wedding.

In July 1919, they went to London for a new premiere of the Russian Ballet - the ballet "The Tricorne" (Spanish: "El Sombrero de tres Picos", French: "Le Tricorne"), for which Picasso again created costumes and scenery.

The ballet was also performed at the Alhambra in Spain and was a great success at the Paris Opera in 1919. This was a time when they were happily married and often participated in public events.

On February 4, 1921, Olga gave birth to a son, Paulo (Paul). From that moment on, the couple's relationship began to rapidly deteriorate.

Olga wasted her husband’s money, and he was desperately angry. And another important reason for the disagreement was the role imposed by Olga on Picasso. She wanted to see him as a salon portrait painter, a commercial artist, moving in high society and receiving orders there.

"Nude in a Red Chair", 1929

This kind of life bored the genius to death. This was immediately reflected in his paintings: Picasso depicted his wife exclusively in the form of an evil old woman, whose distinctive feature was threatening long sharp teeth. Picasso saw his wife this way for the rest of his life.

"The Woman in the Red Chair", 1939

In 1927, when Picasso was 46 years old, he ran away from Olga to 17-year-old Marie-Therese Walter. It was a fire, a mystery, madness.

The time of love for Marie-Therese Walter was special, both in life and in work. The works of this period differed sharply from previously created paintings both in style and color. The masterpieces of Marie Walter's period, especially before the birth of his daughter, are the pinnacle of his creativity.

In 1935, Olga learned from a friend about her husband’s affair, and also that Maria Teresa was pregnant. Taking Paulo with her, she immediately left for the south of France and filed for divorce. Picasso refused to divide the property equally, as required by French law, and therefore Olga remained his legal wife until her death. She died of cancer in 1955 in Cannes. Picasso did not go to the funeral. He simply breathed a sigh of relief.

Dora Maar

After the birth of the child, he loses interest in Marie and takes another mistress - 29-year-old artist Dora Maar. One day, Dora and Marie-Therese met by chance in Picasso's studio when he was working on the famous "Guernica." The angry women demanded that he choose one of them. Pablo replied that they should fight for him. And the ladies attacked each other with fists.
Then the artist said that the fight between his two mistresses was the most striking event in his life. Marie-Therese soon hanged herself. And Dora Maar, who will forever remain in the painting “The Weeping Woman.”

"Crying Woman", 1937

For the passionate Dora, the break with Picasso was a disaster. Dora ended up in the Paris psychiatric hospital of St. Anne, where she was treated with electric shocks. She was rescued from there and brought out of the crisis by her old friend, the famous psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. After this, Dora completely withdrawn into herself, becoming for many a symbol of a woman whose life was shattered by her love for the cruel genius of Picasso. Secluded in her apartment near the Rue Grand-Augustin, she plunged into mysticism and astrology, and converted to Catholicism. Her life stopped perhaps in 1944, when there was a break with Picasso.

Later, when Dora returned to painting, her style changed radically: now from under her brush came lyrical views of the banks of the Seine and landscapes of the Luberon. Friends organized an exhibition of her work in London, but it went unnoticed. However, Dora herself did not come to the vernissage, explaining later that she was busy, as she was drawing a rose in the hotel room... Having survived for a quarter of a century the one who, according to Andre Breton, was the “mad love” of her life, Dora Maar died in July 1997 at the age of 90, alone and in poverty. And about a year later, her portrait “Sobbing Woman” was sold at auction for 37 million francs.

The love between Picasso and Dora Maar, which blossomed during the war, did not stand the test of the world. Their romance lasted seven years, and it was a story of broken, hysterical love. Could she have been different? Dora Maar was wild in her feelings and in her creativity. She had an unbridled temperament and a fragile psyche: bursts of energy alternated with periods of deep depression. Picasso is usually called a “sacred monster,” but it seems that in human relations he was simply a monster.

Francoise Gilot

The artist quickly forgot the lovers he had abandoned. Soon he began dating 21-year-old Françoise Gilot, who was old enough to be the master’s granddaughter. I met her in a restaurant and immediately invited her... to take a bath. In occupied Paris, hot water was a luxury, and Picasso was one of the few who could afford it.

Description of the painting by Pablo Picasso “Crying Woman”

Pablo Picasso always amazed people with his ability to draw pictures. His paintings invariably became masterpieces. Of course, Salvador Dali was more extravagant, but Picasso also had a unique vision of the world around him. Proof of this is, for example, the painting “The Crying Woman.”

Despite the bright colors used by the artist, the picture is very sad. And everyone looking at a crying woman understands this, feels the indescribable grief in her eyes. After looking at her just once, you begin to wonder what happened to her. Such torment is reflected in the woman’s eyes that you involuntarily begin to sympathize with her. Perhaps she has lost her loved one and her heart is torn to pieces. One can only guess what was the true reason for such deep sorrow and unhappy facial expression.

The author, as if lifting a bright mask, shows the audience the real emotions of a woman. He depicts this truth in gray, pale colors: how a woman holds a handkerchief, pressing it to her face, how she clenches her teeth tightly, trying to hold back her tears with all her might. But they roll down your cheeks without asking permission.

Grief and despair distorted the face of the woman depicted on the canvas. He is already unrecognizable, thanks to the manner of Pablo Picasso. Many women admitted that it was they who posed for the talented artist, but they could not prove it. And how was it possible to verify the authenticity of the words? The author left no chance. He veiled the image of a woman beyond recognition. Or perhaps the lady herself wished to remain anonymous. Maybe her grief was so great that she wanted to be unrecognized by anyone. Everyone can only guess who became Picasso’s model and admire the master’s skillful work in conveying emotions.

The painting depicts Dora Maar, a professional photographer, the daughter of a Croatian architect, with whom the artist had a close relationship for nine years (1936-45). Dora photographed cripples, blind people, and clochards, combining beauty and ugliness, luxury and poverty into a mysteriously creepy surrealism. Dora’s work was bold and avant-garde; critics called her style “tragic baroque” and “aesthetics of disaster.” Maar became an intellectual outlet for Picasso, who was experiencing a creative crisis when he met her. She pushed him towards the avant-garde movement and political themes.

Maar taught the artist how to photograph, and under his influence she took up painting. Together they made a kind of “photogravures” on glass, from which, like from huge negatives, they made prints on photographic paper. Dora became Picasso's main model for many years. In the painting “The Crying Woman,” he literally cut into pieces the face of his beloved, revealing the deathly pale interior of true grief: the mouth is distorted by suffering, the teeth frantically tear at the crumpled handkerchief. Handprints are visible on this white “inner essence”. When we cry, we almost always squeeze our faces with our palms and wipe away our tears—the master depicted these hands constantly reaching out to our faces very authentically. The eyes look like two buttons sewn crosswise - dead plastic crosses instead of pupils cross out the life in the crying woman’s gaze. “The Crying Woman” is a collective image of all grieving women who lost their husbands and sons in the war.

Love and relationships with women occupied a large place in the life of Pablo Picasso. Seven women had an undoubted influence on the master’s life and work. But he did not bring happiness to any of them. He not only “mutilated” them on canvas, but also drove them to depression, mental hospital, and suicide.

Every time I change women, I have to burn the last one. This way I get rid of them. This may be what brings back my youth.

Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga, southern Spain, in the family of the artist José Ruiz. In 1895 the family moved to Barcelona, ​​where the young Pablo He was easily enrolled in the La Lonja art school and, through the efforts of his father, acquired his own workshop. But a big ship has a long voyage, and already in 1897 Picasso goes to Madrid to study at the Royal Academy of San Fernando, which, however, disappointed him from the very first steps (he visited the museum much more often than lectures). And already at this time still quite a child Pablo being treated for a “bad disease.”

Pablo Picasso and Fernanda Olivier

In 1900, running away from sad thoughts after the suicide of his friend Carlos Casagemas, Pablo Picasso ends up in Paris, where, together with other poor artists, he rents rooms in a dilapidated house on the Place Ravignan. There Picasso meets Fernande Olivier, or "Beautiful Fernanda". This young woman with a dark past (she ran away from home with a sculptor who later went crazy) and a shaky present (she posed for artists) became a lover and muse for several years Picasso. With her appearance in the master’s life, the so-called “blue period” (dark paintings in blue-green tones) ends and the “pink” begins, with motives of admiring the nude and warm colors.

Turning to cubism brings Pablo Picasso success even overseas, and in 1910 he and Fernanda moved to a spacious apartment and spent the summer in a villa in the Pyrenees. But their romance was coming to an end. Picasso met another woman - Marcel Humbert, whom he called Eva. With Fernanda Picasso parted amicably, without mutual insults or curses, since Fernanda at that time was already the mistress of the Polish painter Louis Marcoussis.

Pablo Picasso and Marcel Humbert (Eve)

Little is known about Marcelle Humbert, as she died early from tuberculosis. But its influence on creativity Pablo Picasso undeniable. She is depicted in the canvas “My Beauty” (1911); the series of works “I Love Eve” is dedicated to her, where one cannot help but notice the fragility, almost transparent beauty of this woman.

During the relationship with Eva Picasso painted textured, rich canvases. But this did not last long. In 1915, Eva died. Picasso could not live in the apartment where he lived with her, and moved to a small house on the outskirts of Paris. For some time he lived a solitary, reclusive life.

Pablo Picasso and Olga Khokhlova

Some time after Eve's death, Picasso A close friendship develops with the writer and artist Jean Cocteau. He is the one who invites Pablo take part in creating the scenery for the ballet “Parade”. So, in 1917 the troupe, together with Picasso go to Rome, and this work brings the artist back to life. It was there, in Rome, Pablo Picasso meets the ballerina, the colonel's daughter Olga Khokhlova (Picasso called her “Koklova”). She was not an outstanding ballerina; she lacked “high fire” and performed mainly in the corps de ballet.

She was already 27 years old, the end of her career was not far off, and she quite easily agreed to leave the stage for the sake of marriage with Picasso. In 1918 they got married. Russian ballerina makes life Picasso more bourgeois, trying to turn him into an expensive salon artist and an exemplary family man. She did not understand and did not recognize. And since painting Picasso always connected “with the muse in the flesh,” which he had at the moment, he was forced to move away from the cubist style.

In 1921, the couple had a son, Paolo (Paul). The elements of fatherhood temporarily overwhelmed the 40-year-old Picasso, and he endlessly drew his wife and son. However, the birth of a son could no longer cement the union of Picasso and Khokhlova; they grew increasingly distant from each other. They divided the house into two halves: Olga was forbidden to visit her husband’s workshop, and he did not visit her bedroom. Being an exceptionally decent woman, Olga had a chance to become a good mother of a family and make some respectable bourgeois happy, but with Picasso she “failed.” She spent the rest of her life alone, suffering from depression, tormented by jealousy and anger, but remained a legal wife Picasso until his death from cancer in 1955.

Pablo Picasso and Marie-Therese Walter

In January 1927 Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Therese Walter. The girl did not refuse the offer to work as a model for him, although about the artist Pablo Picasso I've never heard of it. Three days after they met, she already became his mistress. Picasso I rented an apartment for her not far from my own house.

Picasso did not advertise his relationship with the minor Marie-Therese, but his paintings gave him away. The most famous work of this period, “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust,” went down in history as the first painting to sell for more than $100 million.

In 1935, Marie-Thérèse gave birth to a daughter, Maya. Picasso tried to get a divorce from his wife in order to marry Marie-Therese, but this attempt was unsuccessful. Relationship between Marie-Therese and Picasso lasted much longer than their love affair lasted. Even after the separation, Picasso continued to support her and their daughter with money, and Marie-Thérèse hoped that he, the love of her life, would eventually marry her. This didn't happen. A few years after the artist’s death, Marie-Thérèse hanged herself in the garage of her home.

Pablo Picasso and Dora Maar

The year 1936 was marked for Picasso meeting a new woman - a representative of the Parisian bohemian, photographer Dora Maar. This happened in a cafe, where a girl in black gloves was playing a dangerous game - tapping the tip of a knife between her spread fingers. She got hurt Pablo asked for her bloody gloves and kept them for life. So, this sadomasochistic relationship began with blood and pain.

Subsequently Picasso said that he remembered Dora as a “crying woman.” He found that tears suited her extremely well and made her face especially expressive. At times the artist showed phenomenal insensitivity towards her. So, one day, Dora came to the Picasso talk about your mother's death. Without letting her finish, he sat her down in front of him and began to paint a picture from her.

During the relationship between Dora and Picasso The Nazis bombed the city of Guernica, the cultural capital of the Basque region. In 1937, a monumental (3x8 meters) canvas was born - the famous "" denouncing Nazism." Experienced photographer Dora recorded the various stages of work Picasso above the picture. And this is in addition to many photographic portraits of the master.

In the early 1940s, Dora's “subtle mental organization” develops into neurasthenia. In 1945, fearing a nervous breakdown or suicide, Pablo sends Dora to a psychiatric hospital.

Pablo Picasso and Francoise Gilot

In the early 1940s Pablo Picasso met the artist Françoise Gilot. Unlike other women, she managed to “hold the line” for three whole years, followed by a 10-year romance, two children together (Claude and Paloma) and a life full of simple joys on the coast.

But Picasso could not offer Françoise anything more than the role of mistress, mother of his children and model. Françoise wanted more - self-realization in painting. In 1953, she took the children and went to Paris. Soon she released the book “My Life with Picasso", on which the film "Living Life with Picasso" Thus, Françoise Gilot became the first and only woman to Picasso did not crush, did not burn.

Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline Roque

After Françoise left, the 70-year-old Picasso a new and last lover and muse appeared - Jacqueline Rock. They only got married in 1961. Picasso was 80 years old, Jacqueline - 34. They lived more than alone - in the French village of Mougins. There is an opinion that it was Jacqueline who did not favor visitors. Even children were not always allowed on the threshold of his house. Jacqueline worshiped Pablo, like a god, and turned their house into a kind of personal temple.

This was exactly the source of inspiration that the master lacked with his previous lover. For 17 of the 20 years he lived with Jacqueline, he did not draw any other women except her. Each of the latest paintings Picasso- this is a unique masterpiece. And obviously stimulated by genius Picasso it was the young wife who provided the artist’s old age and last years with warmth and selfless care.

Died Picasso in 1973 - in the arms of Jacqueline Rock. His sculpture “Woman with a Vase” was installed on his grave as a monument.

From the book "Picasso" by Henri Gidel:
In Mougins, Pablo paints portraits of Lee Miller, Nuch, Dora, Vollard... Probably, under the influence of Guernica, he paints many tragic faces. These are sobbing women, most of them endowed with Dora traits. The following year, the faces of the women in the portraits became increasingly agitated, shocked, and distorted, as, for example, in his famous portrait of the Weeping Woman. While working on Guernica, Pablo drew from Dora women's faces, bathed in tears. And he continues to do this, and often distorts the correct facial features of a young woman so much that they cause horror.
Unlike Fernanda, who was indignant when her face was distorted, or Olga, who openly despised Pablo’s attempts to disfigure women’s faces, Dora Maar turned out to be the most patient. She sees in such “modifications” only plastic experiments, to which, in her opinion, the artist has the right. In addition, she is so confident in her own beauty that she considers herself invulnerable. And Picasso repeatedly repeated that he sees her only in tears. This manner of depicting Dora is not at all dictated by his desire to disfigure her, but by artistic necessity, which subjugates him to himself, for, as he said more than once, his painting is stronger than his will.
