Picasso and His Women

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) presents Picasso and His Women.

This course explores the art of Picasso through the lens of the prominent women with whom he shared his life. They were his lovers, confidantes, and muses as well as the casualties of his serial infidelities and abuse. He had a complicated relationship with each one of them; none stands above the others as an archetypal muse.

Picasso, being a profoundly personal artist, took inspiration from his life to reflect directly into his artwork. As such, we will see how his style was transformed with each new relationship and how his feelings and impulses were reflected in the portraiture of these women. 

$95 (plus $25 OLLI membership required)

8 sessions: Tuesdays Jan. 9-Feb. 27, 1-2:20 pm
