Picasso's Lovers
The latest novel from Jeanne Mackin, author of The Last Collection and the Beautiful American.
An assignment for a profile on Picasso leads Alana Olson to intimate interviews with Sara Murphy and Irene Legut - women from a once-vibrant social circle that included the artist. Deperate to know the man who influenced so many parts of her life, Alana dives into the intriguing artistic lives of France in the '20's. But to do so she must contend with her own reality, including a strained engagement, the male-dominated world of art journalism, and the rising political tensions in the United States in the 1950's.
