Las mujeres detrás de Picasso

The Women Behind Picasso focuses on the protagonists of both the life and work of the famous painter. Olga Khokhlova, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot or Jacqueline Roque are just some of the names that inspired the man from Malaga, helped him promote his work and took care of him at all stages of his life. How much do we know about him and how much about them? Women of boundless talent, they all had to overcome innumerable obstacles and face the violence that was poured upon them by both the artist and the environment in which they lived, as well as, later, historiography and its gender biases. This book brings us closer to the biographies of those who made Pablo become Picasso and of those who existed not thanks to the painter, but in spite of him.Eugenia Tenenbaum, art historian and expert in gender perspective, traces the profiles of each of the protagonists. Through various genres and literary devices, she reconstructs fragments of the lives of these fascinating women to return them to the place where they always should have been.
