Why Pablo Picasso's style changed every time he encountered a new muse, what events lie behind his "blue" and "pink" periods, and how obsession made him a genius - listeners can expect a truthful account of the artist's life without embellishments and glossy myths. Pablo Picasso is a brand symbolizing a new turn in the history of 20th-century art. His works are icons, and he dedicated his life to the pedestal of creativity. Art historian Natalia Lavrenova will give listeners the opportunity to look behind the shiny facade and see the artist as a living person with his fears, passions, romantic dramas, and losses. The lecture will reveal the master's creativity from a new perspective, where every plot is 100% autobiographical. Listeners will learn how Picasso related to his muses, how the myth of the "stillborn genius" influenced his self-perception, why romantic experiences were the main driving force of his creativity, and what lies behind any great passion, including creative ones.
