Le Mystère Picasso
Through his oeuvre – his self-portraits, writings and photographs – Picasso willingly built up an image of himself as a unique artist and demiurge, as someone out of the ordinary.
Beyond the variety of avatars – harlequins, minotaurs and musketeers – in which Picasso projected references to himself, it is worth recalling the impact of familial, geographical, artistic and historical contexts on the construction of his identity, which was simultaneously multiple, shifting and entirely overtaken by the urgency of creation “in the absolute ardour of the present time”.
