**的毕加索传记作家约翰•理查森（John Richardson）1962年在写到这位画家时说，几乎他所有的作品的灵感都来源于他的日常生活。毕加索的女性肖像画最能体现这一点。本书讲述了这位画家描绘的八位女性，她们在这位艺术家的生活和艺术中扮演了重要的角色：费尔南德•奥利维尔（Fernande Olivier），奥尔加•科赫洛娃•毕加索（Olga Khokhlova Picasso），萨拉•墨菲（Sara Murphy），玛丽•特蕾丝•沃尔特（Marie-Therese Walter），朵拉•玛尔（Dora Maar），弗朗索瓦斯•吉洛特（Francoise Gilot），西尔维特•大卫（Sylvette David）和杰奎琳•罗克•毕加索（Jacqueline Roque Picasso）。每位女性都充当了颜色和形式实验的催化剂，随着这段关系的变化，它们也在跟着发生变化。正是通过这个过程，毕加索的作品不断被改造和更新。与为纪念这位已故的艺术史学家和传记作家而组织的展览同时出版，本书包含三十六幅绘画和雕塑的复制品。Richardson于1962年撰写的一篇全面的报纸文章；《私下里的毕加索》；Richardson 2009年至2018年间策划过的在高古轩（Gagosian）举办的毕加索作品展的图解年表。

The inspiration of nearly all his work comes from his daily life, the acclaimed Picasso biographer John Richardson wrote of the artist in 1962. This was nowhere more true than in Picasso's portraits of women. This volume traces the artist's depictions of eight women who played a prominent role in the artist's life and art: Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova Picasso, Sara Murphy, Marie-

Therese Walter, Dora Maar, Francoise Gilot, Sylvette David, and Jacqueline Roque Picasso. Each woman served as a catalyst for experiments in color and form that would continue to change as the contours of the relationship shifted. It is through this process that Picasso's work was constantly reinvented and renewed. Published in association with an exhibition organized in honor of the late art historian and biographer, this book features reproductions of thirty-six paintings and sculptures; an extensive two-part newspaper article by Richardson written in 1962, Picasso in Private; and an illustrated chronology of the extraordinary exhibitions of Picasso's work curated by Richardson at Gagosian between 2009 and 2018.
