Additional Details
This poster depicts Picasso’s wife Jacqueline Roque. Of all the women in Picasso’s life, the most enigmatic is Jacqueline Roque, the wife of a French colonial official whom he met in 1952 and whom he married (after her divorce and the death of his first wife, Olga) in 1961. Just as Fernande is associated with the cubist period, Olga the neo-classical 1920s, Marie-Therese the surrealist ’30s, Dora the early ’40s and Françoise the post-war years, Jacqueline became the muse of Picasso’s old age. They were together for the last 20 years of his life, and for 17 of those years she was the only woman he painted.
