Olga Picasso

Who was Olga Khokhlova? One way to find out is through the eyes and brushstrokes of Pablo Picasso, who, throughout his life, portrayed his first wife in different ways: the lightness and curves of an attractive woman in the eyes of the painter, the fullness and strength of motherhood when they had their first child, and later the fading detail as Picasso's desire focused on a different lover. The CaixaForum hosts a large selection of paintings, drawings and photographs dedicated to Picasso’s 'Olga period', which reconstructs the evolution of the iconic artist and the couple’s turbulent relationship.
