Cine s-a întâlnit cu Pablo Picasso?

Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor who spent most of his adult life in France. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and the anti-war painting Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War. His career spanned more than 76 years, from his late teens to his death in 1973.

Beginning his formal training under his father José Ruiz y Blasco aged seven, Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent from a young age, painting in a naturalistic manner through his childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. After 1906, the Fauvist work of the older artist Henri Matisse motivated Picasso to explore more radical styles, beginning a fruitful rivalry between the two artists, who subsequently were often paired by critics as the leaders of modern art.

Picasso's output, especially in his early career, is often periodized. While the names of many of his later periods are debated, the most commonly accepted periods in his work are the Blue Period (1901–1904), the Rose Period (1904–1906), the African-influenced Period (1907–1909), Analytic Cubism (1909–1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912–1919), also referred to as the Crystal period. Much of Picasso's work of the late 1910s and early 1920s is in a neoclassical style, and his work in the mid-1920s often has characteristics of Surrealism. His later work often combines elements of his earlier styles.

Exceptionally prolific throughout the course of his long life, Picasso achieved universal renown and immense fortune for his revolutionary artistic accomplishments, and became one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art.

Nusch Éluard (born Maria Benz; 21 June 1906 – 28 November 1946) was a French performer, model and surrealist artist.

Born Maria Benz in Mulhouse (then part of the German Empire), she met Swiss architect and artist Max Bill in the Odeon Café in Zürich; he nicknamed her "Nusch", a name she would stick to. Their liaison ended after six months when Max Bill's plan to marry her in order to avoid her pending extradition from Switzerland was vetoed by his father (to whom he owed a substantial amount of money due to medical expenses following an accident which had forced him to leave the Bauhaus).

Eva Gouel, aussi connue sous le nom de Marcelle Humbert, née le 27 février 1885 dans le 12^e arrondissement de Paris et morte d'un cancer le 14 décembre 1915 dans le 16^e arrondissement de Paris, a été la seconde compagne de Pablo Picasso pendant sa période cubiste, de 1912 à 1915.

Fernande Olivier (born Amélie Lang; 6 June 1881 – 29 January 1966) was a French artist and model known primarily for having been the model and first muse of painter Pablo Picasso, and for her written accounts of her relationship with him. Picasso painted over 60 portraits of Olivier.

Marie-Thérèse Walter (născută pe 13 iulie 1909 – decedată pe 20 octombrie 1977) a fost o metresă franceză ce i-a servit drept model lui Pablo Picasso între anii 1927 și 1935, și mama fiicei lui, Maya Widmaier-Picasso.

Henriette Theodora Markovitch cunoscută și ca Dora Maar (n. 22 noiembrie 1907, Tours, Franța — d. 16 iulie 1997, Paris), a fost fotografă, poetă și pictoriță franceză.

Deși este cel mai adesea cunoscută ca modelul, muza și partenera pictorului Pablo Picasso, întrucât până la moartea sa a expus foarte puține din lucrările sale, în anii de după 1997 a fost recunoscută ca un adevărat artist plastic suprarealist și fotograf original.
