My Take
Olga Khokhlova deserves to be remembered as more than Picasso's wife and muse. She was a genuine artist in her own right, a Ballets Russes dancer under Diaghilev, later a choreographer and painter. What moves me is the quiet difficulty of her position, a creative woman whose own gifts were eclipsed by a towering partner. Living in the shadow of genius demands its own kind of strength, and her turbulent life through to 1955 reads as both glamorous and painful. I find myself wanting to restore her to the center of her own story rather than the margins of his.
