ピカソに魅了され、生涯を捧げたあげく悲劇的な末路をたどった女たちとの生活を軸に、天才画家の栄光の裏に潜む、苦悩と矛盾に満ちた生涯を再現する。

When Picasso's eight-year-old sister died of diphtheria, he decided God was evil but took her death as an omen that he should become a painter. Later, the youthful artist, rebelling against his father, left home for a few weeks and moved into a brothel. Impulsiveness, rebellion, guilt and sexual energy drove Picasso as he gave form to his inner demons. He wielded his art as a weapon, exacting vengeance for the wives and mistresses who died, went mad or committed suicide. Huffington, author of Maria Callas, has written an astonishing biography, a shocking portrait of a man driven by a compulsive need to destroy even as his creativity burst forth. Based on interviews and primary sources, this intriguing and exhausting book lifts the veil of secrecy surrounding Picasso's sexual and personal sadism, his compulsive fears and self-identification with Christ. First serial to the Atlantic; BOMC featured selection.

Here is Picasso as never seen before- the indefatigable painter, the bohemian, the seducer, the father, and ultimately, the man sacrificed on the altar of his own contradictions.
