"Jacqueline with flowers"

Pablo Picasso (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 116 x 88 cm - 1954 - Naive Art / Primitivism
At a pottery studio in Vallauris near his residence, a 27-year-old Jacqueline Roque and a 72-year-old Picasso came face to face. This happened in the year 1953, when Picasso expressed his romantic feelings by chalking a picture of a dove for her. Every single day for the next six months, Picasso brought her a rose until she finally gave in to be his partner. He was free to marry her after the death of his wife, Olga Koklova in 1955, but he ultimately married her in 1961. In 1954, he made this painting to welcome the new love of his life that he had found in Jacqueline. Polish-born biographer Antonina Vallentin identified the figure of Jacqueline in this painting as a “modern sphinx”. There’s something mythical in aura exhibited by her figure in the painting. Picasso found her resembling the figure in Delacroix’s “Women of Algiers”.
