Diana Widmaier-Picasso is the daughter of Maya, Picasso's child by Marie-Thérèse Walter, the woman for whom he left his first wife, the Russian dancer Olga Koklova, and with whom he had an affair in 1927-35. It's a period in Picasso's work that is famous for its fruitful, sunny eroticism, and his portrayals of Marie-Thérèse are distinctive for their warm curves ...
Finally, I moved on to happier thoughts, and to her own life. Wasn't Diana dating a much older man? And hasn't Marina married an older man?
