Cubism<br />
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />
Jacqueline Roque (February 24, 1927 – October 15, 1986) was the second wife of Pablo Picasso<br />
and his frequent model. Picasso spent the last 20 years of his life with Roque, during which time<br />
he created more than 400 por<strong>traits</strong> of her. [1] They had no children.<br />
Life<br />
Before meeting Picasso, she was a saleswoman at Madoura Pottery in Vallauris, where Picasso's<br />
ceramic works were created. After Pablo Picasso separated from Françoise Gilot, they began<br />
their relationship. They married in Vallauris on 2 March 1961. Roque's image began to appear in<br />
Picasso's paintings in May 1954. These por<strong>traits</strong> are <strong>character</strong>ized by an exaggerated neck and<br />
feline face, distortions of Roque's features. Eventually her dark eyes and eyebrows, high<br />
cheekbones, and classical profile would become familiar symbols in his late paintings.
