At $100 million, Pablo Picasso’s paintings were sold for an astronomical price, even under the impact of the new epidemic. And the auction process took only 19 minutes (what does that tell you? It is to buy the master Picasso’s paintings, how much money to take! As the netizens said, it was really a “purchase without thinking”.
As far as the daily station Jun knows, this 776 million painting “woman sitting by the window”, is not the first master Picasso painting of the sky. However, even though there are thousands of Picasso’s overpriced paintings, there is still no escaping the “gossip” of a session of netizens. Have you noticed? These expensive paintings are always part of the works about “women”. Women? Master Bi: “Well, the last thing I need is a woman.”
For example, we are all familiar with the work “Dream”, which often appears in junior high school art textbooks, sold for $155 million. And last year’s sensational “tear painting incident”. The Picasso painting “Bust of a Woman”, worth over HK$200 million, was torn down by a 20-year-old man while on display at the museum. The incident not only attracted a lot of attention from people inside and outside the industry, but also brought the painting back to fame. Of course, it was also his “Woman of Algiers”, whose HK$1.3 billion auction price set the highest record for a contemporary art work at the time. Obviously, Picasso’s paintings never lacked “women”.
Some people say that Picasso turned all the women who loved him into sky-high paintings, while others say that it was these women who created the master Picasso.
Indeed, he himself said, “Creation comes from passion, passion comes from love”. That’s why in the fairy tale “Snow White and the 7 dwarfs”, and in Picasso “the genius painter and the 7 lovers”. (“Les Femmes d’Alger”)
At the age of 23, Picasso met his first lover, the model Fernande, in Paris. With his stunning appearance and voluptuous body, Picasso fell in love with Fernande at first sight, and Fernande was also infatuated with the young and talented painter. (File photo, Nippon Design Kojo)
Because of the meeting with Fernande, Picasso’s painting style also changed from depressing and sad blue to bright and ambiguous pink. It is said that Picasso had a flirtatious life, but in his 20s he also had the fear of losing his lover. During his days with Fernande, he kept her locked up in his house for fear that she would be unfaithful to him by contacting other painters. This was probably the only relationship in Picasso’s life that he suffered from. (File photo, Nippon Design Kojo)
However, he was a womanizer by nature, and while dating Fernande, he hooked up with a married woman named Eva. Faced with the problem of “married woman”, our master Bi did not back down at all, but faced up to the hard. He instigated and instructed Eva to abandon her husband and son and run away with herself.

Perhaps the charm of Picasso, Eva finally chose to “go away” with him, and he also rightly abandoned Fernande. (Eva in the Armchair)
At this point, to use a particularly popular phrase on the Internet, “No one can stay young forever, but Picasso’s lovers can”. Even though Picasso was an affair, frequent cheating, domestic violence, abandonment and PUA, in the end, her lover would still say, “It would be a disaster to be with him, but I don’t want to miss it”.
How many muses does it take to make a Picasso?
Obviously, seven. But none of the women he fell in love with ended up well. What we can often see today is the success of Picasso, who had 37,000 works in his lifetime, the founder of modern art, the main representative of Western modernist painting, and also pioneered cubism. His works have been known for centuries and have been applauded by the world, and a painting can be sold for over a billion dollars.
But only some people will remember the tragedy of at least seven women behind Picasso’s famous paintings. Jean Baptiste, Jean Baptiste, Jean Baptiste and Jean Baptiste. Camille C. Corot said: “You have given your love to art, be faithful.” Perhaps Picasso also gave all his love to art and to himself.
