Description: | Marina Picasso remembers being six years old and standing awkwardly in front of the gates of Picasso's grand house near Cannes. It was this that caused Marina's brother to commit suicide and when her father died Marina found herself in the ironic position of being one of the major heirs to Picasso's estate. Marina Picasso remembers being six years old and standing awkwardly in front of the gates of Picasso''s grand house near Cannes. She was there with her father and eight-year-old brother to collect from her grandfather the weekly allowance that Picasso grudgingly gave his eldest son to support is family. Sometimes they were sent away and on other occasions, the gates would be opened and they would walk into the intimidating, exciting chaos of Picasso''s studio to face the man himself and his unpredictable moods. |
