women who loved picasso book

A new book titled *Hidden Portraits: The Untold Stories of Six Women Who Loved Picasso* by Sue Roe (published by Faber and W.W. Norton) examines the lives of Picasso's six most significant partners: Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot, and Jacqueline Roque. The book challenges the narrative that these women were passive muses, instead revealing their personal ambitions and reasons for entering relationships with the artist, drawing on journals and historical context to present their perspectives.
