Picasso's women

                                                                     Picasso's women


When we look at Picasso’s paintings we can see a lot of women’s portraits and acts. The reason is Picasso as many other artists had his muses. In a huge number of his mistresses there are only 7 with whom he lived for a longer time and who had influence on his art. The first one was Fernande Olivier (1881-1996). He met her in 1904 when he moved to France. In 1907, when Fernande was with someone else he painted famous "Les demoiselles d'Avignon”. It is supposed that the feeling of jealousy had influence on him while painting the masterpiece.

The second one was Eva Gouel. She was with the artist for 4 years and died because of tuberculosis in 1915.

His first marriage was with Olga Koklova, a Ukraine woman, who gave birth to his son Paul. Unfortunately, he quickly became bored of this stable relationship and romanced with many other women although they didn’t get divorced.


One of his next women was Marie-Therese Walter who was only 17 when they started dating and was with him for 7 years. In this period Picasso painted a lot of her portraits. She gave birth to his daughter Maia. Unfortunately she hung herself in 1977 because of him.


In 1939 he met a Yugoslav photographer Dora Maar. She documented the whole process of creating Guernica, which can be now admired in the National Museum in Madrid with the painting. He was with her to 1944. After they broke up, she had a nervous breakdown and never recovered.

The only woman who actually left Picasso by herself was Françoise Gilot. She gave birth to his 2 children, Claude and Paloma and wrote a book about him.

The last Picasso’s woman was Jacqueline Roque who was his mainstay for the last years of his life and was his second wife. She was the only woman that Pablo didn’t cheat on. When the artist died in 1977 she sorted out his inheritance issues. Unfortunately in 1986 she committed suicide because she couldn’t live without him.

All in all, Picasso was a handsome man and young in spirit throughout his life and therefore he attracted a lot of women. However, he wasn’t loyal to them. That’s why two of them committed suicide and two went mad.

  Last week when i was at my friend's house we were really depressed about the end of the holidays. While we where talking about school we figured out that maybe our usual lack of energy on the school year is related to the weather. If you think about it when we're studing it's nearly always on the cold seasons exept September, June and sometimes May. Therefore in countries where the weather is warmer students should have more energy to study. Maybe it is casused by vitamin D deficiency which is normally produced when we are on sun.

Every time I am in a modern art gallery I meet at least one person who don't know how they got in that place. They feel uncomfortable with the fact that they don't get artist intention and simply don't understand the meanings of these works of art. In the past artists had to follow specific rules which were created through the years. Basically they used to copy famoust art gurus all the time and just changed some details but the idea and topic of the painting was the same. It is also caused by the fact that old paintings are all very realistic so we know what are we looking at but from the time that impressionism appeared in the art world it started to be more complicated. I think that we should be more educated about modern art to be able to interprate it without so much effort. We should also have more guides in museum and art galleries who can tell us more about works of art.

Reflection 3

Last week my mum told me that maybe I like chemistry because I have it in my genes. My grandfather and grandmother were chemists so that was what she ment. After that I started thinking what actually has influence on our interests and talents and then who we become in the future. I think it is mostly an individual matter but also people surrounding us has a huge impact on this. First of all, usually we like subject not only because we're interested in this topic but also because of our teachers. It's them who makes us being motivated to learn more. Second of all, I think that our parents do have some sort of impact on our future jobs. It can be negative because e.g we want to be different from them and have completely different job or we are amazed by what they do so we want to follow their steps.   On the other hand maybe we are born with talents and we just develop them during our lives. It can't be just a coincident that there are families which members chose the same...
