Las Amantes de Picasso

New York, 1953. Alana Olson, an aspiring journalist, has always been fascinated by Picasso. Her keen interest leads her to a series of intimate interviews with Sara Murphy and Irène Lagut, two key figures in the artist's vibrant French social circle. Glamorous and elusive, Picasso's women always lived in the shadow of his fame. Jeanne Mackin takes us back to an era that has fascinated us for over a century, this time offering female lovers and muses the chance to step out of the paintings they inspired and take on the role of protagonists.
