PICASSO’S
WORLD
From Málaga to Mougins, follow in the Spanish artist’s footsteps and take in the sights that inspired him.
BY BRANDON PRESSER
Long and illustrious, the life of Pablo Picasso was in many ways unlike that of the typical turn of the century artist. He lived comfortably and passionately, often in the public
eye. His trysts and mistresses fueled much of his creativity. Picasso was undeniably a celebrity in his waning years and his life was meticulously documented by his scorned lovers and adoring students. We take you inside his world, from his birthplace of Málaga to his bohemian period in Paris and his final years in Provence.
