Pablo Picasso's Victims
From his first muse until the last, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was intent on claiming ownership of each woman in his life. He packaged these individuals, and the intimate relationships he had with them, as a saleable product to make him profit. Their bodies, minds, suggestions, appear again and again in his work. Picasso’s preference for young women was so well-known it was a punchline in the Orson Welles movie F for Fake. But portraiture is a two-way process; the results reveal both model and artist. Picasso’s expose a man obsessed with presenting himself as an all-powerful creator; but, if we look again, we might see that he is nothing compared to his muses.
