Picasso Mistreated Women' data-article-id='5683'><script src='//news-app-staging.herokuapp.com/javascripts/getscripts.js'></script><link rel='stylesheet'

protest recently at a museum dedicated to Pablo Picasso. </span> <span data-start-time='12625' data-end-time='24458'>She told Reuters news agency that she wants to show the Spanish painter's sometimes hurtful behavior towards women.</span> <span data-start-time='24458' data-end-time='39354'>Maria Llopis and seven of her female students appeared at the Picasso Museum wearing t-shirts that read "Picasso, women abuser." </span> <span data-start-time='39354' data-end-time='44500'>Others wore t-shirts with the name of Dora Maar.</span> <span data-start-time='44500' data-end-time='57771'>Maar was a French artist who is believed to have suffered abuse by Picasso during their relationship in the 1930s and 1940s.</span> <span data-start-time='57771' data-end-time='69042'>The protest follows the worldwide debate on the treatment of some women by some men, led by the #MeToo movement. </span> <span data-start-time='69042' data-end-time='80625'>Many in this movement want to show poor treatment of women of dead individuals as well as living ones.</span> <span data-start-time='80625' data-end-time='93271'>In recent years in Spain, women's rights have gotten more attention after several well-known rape and abuse cases.</span> <span data-start-time='93271' data-end-time='102688'>Llopis, a 45-year-old professor, said she only wanted to make a restrained protest. </span> <span data-start-time='102688' data-end-time='112333'>She said the museum was not discussing Picasso's treatment of women and his female relationships. </span> <span data-start-time='112333' data-end-time='122000'>She added that this is especially true of Dora Maar and her troubled life after their break-up.</span> <span data-start-time='122000' data-end-time='127313'>It was not an attack on Picasso, she said. </span> <span data-start-time='127313' data-end-time='131250'>I don't believe at all in cancel culture. </span> <span data-start-time='131250' data-end-time='137208'>I believe in the truth, in not hiding things."</span> <span data-start-time='137208' data-end-time='144375'>The museum director, Emmanuel Guigon, said he respected the protest. </span> <span data-start-time='144375' data-end-time='151063'>He added that the debates that result from the protests are important. </span> <span data-start-time='151063' data-end-time='162646'>He said that a talk next autumn on Picasso's relationship with women and exhibitions on the issue were already planned.</span> <span data-start-time='162646' data-end-time='173188'>We cannot look at Picasso's work and life as we did 20, 40 or 50 years ago, he said. </span> <span data-start-time='173188' data-end-time='184854'>It can always be looked (at) with new and critical eyes, but we will not remove Picasso's work from art history.</span> <span data-start-time='184854' data-end-time='194917'>He said that Picasso was very machista a word that translates as a “male chauvinist” in English. </span> <span data-start-time='194917' data-end-time='200792'>However, he did not know of cases of physical abuse.</span> <span data-start-time='200792' data-end-time='212375'>Picasso lived from 1881 to 1973 and had many relationships throughout his life. </span> <span data-start-time='212375' data-end-time='226396'>In a 2001 book, his granddaughter Marina Picasso wrote that he would get rid of women after he used them for his artistic purposes.</span> <span data-start-time='226396' data-end-time='233625'>Art historian Victoria Combalia wrote a story of Maar’s life. </span> <span data-start-time='233625' data-end-time='240063'>She has accused Llopis' protest of being meaningless. </span> <span data-start-time='240063' data-end-time='250208'>But she said she supports putting information in museums about the stories behind some of his paintings.</span> <span data-start-time='250208' data-end-time='259146'>Asked about that possibility, museum director Guigon said there are no plans to do that. </span> <span data-start-time='259146' data-end-time='264375'>He added that it was more important to hold debates.</span> <span data-start-time='264375' data-end-time='279917'>There is evidence that at least once Picasso very likely punched Maar on her eye and that he could be seen as abusive to women in general, Combalia said.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky'
