Kdo chodil s Pablo Picasso?

Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25. října 1881 Málaga – 8. dubna 1973 Mougins) byl španělský malíř a sochař. Jeho celé jméno je Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso. Je jednou z nejvýznamnějších osobností umění 20. století. Společně s Georgesem Braquem je považován za zakladatele kubismu. Odhaduje se, že Picasso vytvořil asi 13 500 obrazů a skic, 100 000 rytin a tisků, 34 000 ilustrací a 300 skulptur a keramických děl. Byl aktivním členem Francouzské komunistické strany.

Jeho obraz Alžírské ženy byl v květnu 2015 v newyorské aukční síni Christie's vydražen za 179,4 milionu dolarů (v přepočtu 4,4 miliardy korun), čímž se stal historicky nejdražším výtvarným dílem prodaným v aukci.

Eva Gouel, aussi connue sous le nom de Marcelle Humbert, née le 27 février 1885 dans le 12^e arrondissement de Paris et morte d'un cancer le 14 décembre 1915 dans le 16^e arrondissement de Paris, a été la seconde compagne de Pablo Picasso pendant sa période cubiste, de 1912 à 1915.

Nusch Éluard (born Maria Benz; 21 June 1906 – 28 November 1946) was a French performer, model and surrealist artist.

Born Maria Benz in Mulhouse (then part of the German Empire), she met Swiss architect and artist Max Bill in the Odeon Café in Zürich; he nicknamed her "Nusch", a name she would stick to. Their liaison ended after six months when Max Bill's plan to marry her in order to avoid her pending extradition from Switzerland was vetoed by his father (to whom he owed a substantial amount of money due to medical expenses following an accident which had forced him to leave the Bauhaus).

Fernande Olivier (born Amélie Lang; 6 June 1881 – 29 January 1966) was a French artist and model known primarily for having been the model and first muse of painter Pablo Picasso, and for her written accounts of her relationship with him. Picasso painted over 60 portraits of Olivier.

Marie-Thérèse Walter (13 July 1909 – 20 October 1977) was a French model and lover of Pablo Picasso, with whom she had a daughter, Maya Widmaier-Picasso.

Walter is known as Picasso's "golden muse." She inspired numerous artworks and sculptures that he created of her during their relationship, which began when she was 17 years old and Picasso was 45 and married to his first wife, Olga Khokhlova. It ended after Picasso moved on to his next relationship with artist Dora Maar. Walter died from an apparent suicide at the age of 68 in 1977.

Henriette Theodora Markovitch (22 November 1907 – 16 July 1997), known as Dora Maar, was a French photographer and painter. Maar was both a pioneering Surrealist artist and an antifascist activist. Maar was depicted in a number of Picasso's paintings, including his Portrait of Dora Maar and Dora Maar au Chat. However, Maar said of the works: "All his portraits of me are lies. They're all Picassos. Not one is Dora Maar."

Her work ranged from commercial assignments in fashion and advertising to documenting social and economic struggles during the Depression, and explored Surrealist themes. Maar was one of the few photographers to be included in exhibitions of surrealist work in the 1930s in Paris, New York and London, alongside Man Ray and Salvador Dalí. Her techniques in the darkroom explore psychology, dreams and inner states.

Maar's political activism and photographic style influenced Pablo Picasso's work during the period of their romantic relationship. In particular, Maar's influence can be seen in Picasso's anti-war painting Guernica (1937). "She influenced Picasso to paint Guernica – he had never entered political painting before," says Amar Singh, curator of Amar Gallery in London.
