Vñ ¿bJoLtv and the Weeping Women: The Years of Marie-Thérèse Walter and

June 12 - September 4,1994 • The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The exhibition is made possible by Pai ne Webber. Transportation assistance for the exhibition is provided by United Airlines. The exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Aits and the Humanities. The exhibition was organized in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The exhibition has been adapted for New York by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. icasso was the most prolific artist of our time. Much of his art directly relates to his personal life; his paintings, prints, and drawings present a visual autobiography rich in incident which 'rs on occasion raised to P allegory. The female figure and face are as central to Picasso's art as they were necessary to his physical existence. Beginning with , whom he met in 1904 when he was twenty-three, and ending with Roque, whom he met in 1953 when he was seventy-two, his most constant subjects were the women that he successively possessed—mistresses, consorts, and two wives. Each offered fresh inspiration to his art, each reaffirmed his dominating vigor. Rapture, however, was often followed by anguish and despair.

The present exhibition focuses upon Picasso in the years from 1927 to 1943, and three women are its subject. Olga Koklova, a Russian dancer, was Picasso's first wife. They met in 1917 and were married a year later. He was thirty-six, she twenty-seven. Their son, Paulo, Picasso's first child, was born in 1921. As her classic beauty faded, Olga's erratic disposition increased. Vain and vapid, she was easily bored. She was also socially pretentious, and she became a shrew. By 1927 their marriage had deteriorated. The monstrous screaming female heads that Picasso painted between 1927 and 1930 reflect the increasing and violent tensions of their alienation. In 1927, when he was forty-five, Picasso found Marie-Thérèse Walter, a French schoolgirl just seventeen years old. She became his mistress, and their daughter, Maya, his second child, was born in 1935. Young Marie-Thérèse was acquiescent and unworldly. She offered calm as well as ecstasy. No other woman is more intricately woven into the fabric of his art, and she was never painted as distressed. In retrospect their relationship seems the happiest and the least public of his amatory alliances. In 1936 Picasso met Dora Maar (Theodora Markovitch), who became his con­ sort. He was fifty-four, she twenty-eight. Born in of a French mother and a Croatian father, she had been raised in the Argentine and spoke fluent Spanish. None of his previous companions had been as intellectually alert. Stylish and sophisticated, she was also highly strung. Like Picasso, she was a compulsive smoker. Make-up accented her striking features, and her first likenesses by Picasso depict her attractive face. Dora Maar, then a photographer, recorded the development of Picasso's great mural (1937) at several stages. Although she does not appear in the painting itself, the features of the weeping women in Guernica's commentaries and postscripts are based on hers. For the next half- dozen years she continued to be featured in his art. She can be easily identified, but sometimes Picasso's transformations of her face and figure seem grotesque. In a heroic bronze and a painting, perhaps the most expressive of his portraits, Picasso presents her likeness finally in a more realistic style (1941-42). The exhibition begins with a prologue that shows Olga as Picasso first loved her. These portraits are followed by several paintings of the screaming head (1927-30). His rapturous, sometimes concealed relationship with Marie-Thérèse is shown in paintings, drawings, lithographs, etchings, and one bronze (1927-37). His earliest portraits of Dora are a drawing, two drypoints, and two photograms (1936). In 1937, with the and his mural Guernica, the female wartime victim was his principal female subject. This "Weeping Woman" is shown in seven paintings, seven drawings, and two etchings (1937). After Guernica, which he completed in early June 1937, Picasso seldom portrayed Dora Maar as handsome as she was. And also after Guernica he seldom portrayed Marie-Thérèse, the recent mother of his second child, with the tenderness of their first years together. Given the awkward simultaneity of these two relationships, it is not surprising that Picasso sometimes compared and combined the features of both women. Such an exchange appears in several paintings (1936-39). The exhibition's epilogue consists of subsequent likenesses of Dora, including paintings, drawings, etchings, aquatints, and one bronze (1 937-42). When Picasso died on April 8, 1973, he was ninety-one years old. He had had one other consort, Françoise Gilot, the painter and the mother of his second son and daughter, and one other wife, , who, like Marie-Thérèse, committed suicide. More than any other artist of our time, Picasso's changing vision determined the course of twentieth-century art.
