Picasso was a Playboy

Being a famous artist certainly helped Picasso get the girl. Girls, in fact – many, many girls. Here’s a short list of known wives and lovers of Picasso

– Fernande Olivier (Picasso’s first love, she was 18?; he was 23)
– Marcelle Humbert AKA Eva Gouel (she was 27, Picasso was 31)
– Gaby Lespinasse (he was 34, I don’t know how old Gaby was, but she was young, that’s for sure!)
– Olga Khokhlova (Picasso’s first wife; she was 26 and he was 36 when they met)
– Marie-Thérèse Walter (she was 17, he was 46)
– Dora Maar (she was 29, Picasso was 55)
– Françoise Gilot (she was 21 when she met Picasso, who was 61)
– Geneviève Laporte (one of Picasso’s last lovers. She was in her mid-twenties and a French model of Picasso, who was in his seventies when the affair started)
– Jacqueline Roque (who became Picasso’s second wife. She was 27 and he was 79)

Marie-Thérèse Walter was Picasso’s model for Le Rêve. In 2006, casino magnate Steve Wynn agreed to sell the painting for $139 million, but accidentally put his elbow through the canvas the day before the sale was to be completed!
