My Take
Jacqueline Roque is too often reduced to a footnote in Picasso's biography, but I find her far more compelling than that. Being painted over four hundred times, more than any of his other muses, suggests a presence that genuinely held the great man's gaze for twelve years. To stand beside a force like Picasso and sustain his creative obsession required its own kind of strength, not mere passivity. As choreographer, painter, and model, she had her own creative instincts too. I think of her as someone who gave herself wholly to art, and she lives on inside those canvases. I quietly admire that devotion.
