MUSEO PICASSO MÁLAGA
26th February.- 2nd June 2019
This exhibition
examines the relationship between Picasso and his first wife, Olga
Khokhlova. It puts into perspective the creation of some of Picasso’s
major works and reconstructs his body of work within the context of a
personal story that developed alongside a different political and social
one. Throughout the artist’s classical period, Olga was the Picasso
model par excellence.
During the upheaval of Europe between the
wars, his depictions of her were to undergo a metamorphosis, as their
relationship gradually deteriorated.
