Picasso told his biographer, John Richardson, that his work was like a diary – " to understand it, you have to see how it mirrors my life." This lecture examines the way Picasso’s emotional life influenced what he painted and how he painted it. His response to each new love in his life can be seen in the different styles in which his many women were represented. When he fell out of love that fact would be revealed first in his paintings. The lecture concentrates on the seven most important women in his life (two of whom he married).
