Picasso’s grandson defends the artist’s behaviour towards women

[BidenPresident]

Pablo Picasso, who created some of the greatest masterpieces of the 20th century, was also a notorious womaniser and once said that “there are only two kinds of women – goddesses and doormats”. Viewed through a 21st-century lens, he has been seen as a misogynist and monstrous.

Now his grandson has spoken out, arguing that the artist’s lovers knew what he was like when they became involved with him.

“My grandfather had love stories with each woman and no one was forced to do anything,” said Widmaier Picasso, Maya’s son. “Pablo Picasso is Pablo Picasso. He is not a usual person and my grandmother knew that he was married when he met her.”

Same back then as it is now today I suppose.

All I have to say is... Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole!
