Pablo PicassoThe Women Behind the Mastermind
By Erin Alemdar
“Throughout history, artists have reflexively
seen woman as the symbol for creative force,
for passion, for anguished rapture, for
beauty, and a short insight and sensitivity
that is both a blessing and a curse” (The
Christian Science Monitor).

Fernande Olivier

• Personality influenced the mood and themes of Rose Period.
Rose Period
• Harlequin as a comic symbol
• Pink, red, and orange paints
• Influenced by opium
• Self-centered painting and violence toward Fernande
Olga Koklova
• Push towards sophistication
• More demanding relationship
• Emergence of Picasso’s dark side
More than two-thirds of his paintings from
1930-40 consisted of deformed women,
their faces and bodies flayed. Behind
captivating female beauty, he saw
disintegration, decomposition, and death.
