Jacqueline Roque
Jacqueline Picasso (born February 24, 1927 in Paris as Jacqueline Roque ; † October 15, 1986 in Mougins ) was the second and last wife of Pablo Picasso and his most frequently depicted model.
Life
Jacqueline Roque was born in 1927. After their first marriage and the birth of their daughter Catherine Hutin-Blay, she met Pablo Picasso in 1953, whose separation from Françoise Gilot and their children Claude and Paloma was imminent. When Jacqueline met Picasso, she was a ceramics seller at Madoura in Vallauris , in whose studio Picasso had been creating ceramics since 1946. She was 46 years younger than Picasso. They were married in Vallauris on March 2, 1961.
Jacqueline spent the last 20 years with Picasso, twelve of them legitimately married, until his death in 1973, the marriage remained childless. She made his portraiture flourish again, and there were more than 400 portraits of her.
Jacqueline Picasso committed suicide in 1986 after the opening of a Picasso exhibition that she helped to arrange, 13 years after Picasso's death.
