PICASSO AND HIS WOMEN:
GODDESSES OR DOORMATS?

FRIDAY 16 NOVEMBER, 6:30PM TO 7:30PM   I   ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE, WEST END
Fernande, Eva, Olga, Marie-Thérèse, Dora, Françoise, Geneviève, Jacqueline... Picasso couldn’t live without women but entertained complicated relationships with his successive Muses.  "Women are machines for suffering," 61-year-old Picasso told his 40-years younger mistress Françoise Gilot, “ For me there are only two kinds of women, goddesses and doormats". In this talk, Florence will focus on the great Artist’s obsessive and immensely productive representations of his wives and lovers, from images of exquisite tenderness to destructive brutality, as his successive relationships evolved over time

Glass of wine included!
