By general consensus, Pablo Picasso is the most brilliant and influential artist of this century, yet he has eluded critics and remains a complex figure. His macho demeanor and diverse styles create a barrier for those seeking to understand him. In this biography, Norman Mailer, another legendary artist, attempts to delve into Picasso's enigmatic mind and capture the essence of his life and art. Mailer critiques existing interpretations and brings readers closer to the young Picasso, focusing on his first great love, Fernande Olivier, with whom he lived for seven years. This relationship coincided with Picasso's most revolutionary works, from the innovations of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon to the mysteries of Cubism. Mailer emphasizes the importance of understanding Picasso through his connection to Fernande, who is given a voice through excerpts from her previously unpublished memoirs. Additionally, the narrative highlights Picasso's friendships with Apollinaire and Gertrude Stein, painting a vivid picture of the bohemian life in early 1900s Paris. Through this exploration, readers gain insight into the personal and artistic influences that shaped one of history's most iconic artists.
