I may not know art . . .
Mon, 21 Nov 2005, 11:44 pmBut I'm certainly learning. For example, did you know that every time Picasso changed his woman, he also changed his favourite poet, favourite composer and his dog?
Picasso's Women, by Brian McAvera, is a one-woman show that explores the lives Fernande Olivier and Eva Gouel, two of the women that Picasso loved, used and often abused.
Fernande was Picasso's first real love and was with him through the end of his Blue Period, all of his Rose Period and the start of Cubism. She was the inspiration for the painting "The Harem". Unceremoniously dumped by Picasso after eight years, Fernande lived out her life, and ultimately ended up dying, alone.
Eva stole Picasso from Fernande, a close friend, and set about trying to gain the title of 'wife'. Famous for once having said "it was a waste of space for a woman to destroy the reputations of her enemies; she should start with her friends."

Look forward to seeing many of you there :)

Didn't Picasso's chicks all get naked at some point?

Well as they say a change is as good as a holiday.
