Spanish painter Picasso is a prolific master, according to statistics, his works total 37,000 pieces, including: 1885 oil paintings, 7089 drawings, 20000 prints, 6121 lithographs.
Picasso's life was so glorious that he was the first painter ever to live to see his work collected in the Louvre. Of the work, Picasso said: "Every painting I have my blood in, and that's what my paintings mean." ”
Among the top 10 paintings in the world with the highest auction price, Picasso's works account for 4, making people have to admit that Picasso was a successful painter.
This great painter has an eccentric personality, he usually lives in a villa on the mountain, refuses to meet guests, loves to play pranks, and is reluctant to communicate with others, especially worth mentioning his emotional life.
He can be said to be a playboy, and he may not be able to count the women he has in his life, and women are the catalysts for him to stimulate his own inspiration. Counting, there are no less than 10 women who have openly been married or in a relationship with Picasso, not to mention those who have had sex with him only once as a model. No one would doubt Picasso's achievements in painting, but his private life is indeed too flattering.
Picasso died in 1973. Due to the reasons mentioned above, coupled with the lack of detailed death reports, people have speculated about the cause of his death in an artistic imagination.
In 1988, Greek journalist Ariana Strasinopolo Heinto published Picasso – The Creator and Destroyer. The book reveals some of Picasso's anecdotes, many of which involve Picasso's emotional life. The author believes that Picasso was arbitrary, irresponsible, selfish, and scheming in his emotional life.
The book says that Picasso once met a 17-year-old girl named Marie Teresa Walter on the streets of Paris, and Picasso coveted her beauty and said to her, I am Picasso, and you and I will be happy together. He and his wife quietly took Mary on vacation, let Mary be his model during the day, and sneaked out to date Mary at night. But Mary could not escape the fate of being abandoned by Picasso. Such things were commonplace for Picasso, and his name of indulgence remained.
We can briefly list the women we know of who have an intimate relationship with Picasso, such as first love Fernand Olivet, married wife Ava Guvi, dancer Oga Koklova, 17-year-old Marie Teresa Watt, Yugoslav female photographer and painter Dora Mare, female painter Fangswarz Giro, school magazine female journalist Ginavivif, and second wife Jacqueline Locke. And that's not all, Picasso had very little time in his life to have only one woman. In her attitude toward women, even Picasso's mother thought Picasso was unreliable, saying that he was like a stallion. Because of this, many people believe that Picasso's death has a lot to do with his indulgence.
Others have analyzed the cause of Picasso's death from other aspects, arguing that Picasso died of depression. The influence of the state of personal life on the artist's creation is self-evident, and if the artist's love, marriage and family are in a relatively harmonious and beautiful stage, it will provide a good creative environment for the artist, and the same is true for Picasso. From Picasso's last 10 years of work, we can see that he was rejuvenated after marrying his last wife, Jaccoline. But in the last years of Picasso's life, his beloved Jacqueline fell ill with mental illness, which devastated Picasso, and Picasso most likely died of depression unable to bear the blow.
These are people's speculations, and they are mixed with personal emotions. Maybe things aren't that complicated. Remember that Picasso was 92 years old when he died. There may be no need to investigate the cause of death of a 92-year-old man, but the reason why this question is so concerned is actually because people feel in his works a passion for life that will never fade.
