Sue Roe – Hidden Portraits – The Untold Stories of Six Women Who Loved Picasso

Sue Roe examines the individual stories of the women with whom Pablo Picasso shared his life. These six extraordinary women were instrumental in Picasso’s career, yet long dismissed as passive models or muses. Hidden Portraits delves deeply into the women’s experiences, to tell the true story of Picasso’s women from their point of view. This enthralling book spans seventy years, from Bohemian Montmartre to glittering 1920s French Riviera, through Paris under Nazi occupation and beyond – the result is a riveting, atmospheric read.

Hugh Dunford-Wood I am lucky to have worked as an independent artist designer since student days at Oxford’s Ruskin School of Art in the 1970s.  I paint landscapes & portraits, and make prints. I also design & handprint wallpapers based on sketches of the natural world. I am fortunate to live in Bridport with a front door onto the street, and a backdoor to the countryside. I am a member of The Devon Guild of Craftsmen, Artist Member of the Royal Western Academy. I have been Artist in Residence at The Royal Shakespeare Company, and the Globe Theatre when it first opened in 2000, and The Museum of Bermuda Art in 2009 to mark of the 400th anniversary of settlement.
