Maya Ruiz-Picasso posed for portraits of her famous father more than once. By 1973, he had become an expert at his job.
The eldest daughter of the world famous Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and his muse Marie-Therese, Walter Maya Ruiz-Picasso, died on Tuesday morning, December 20, at the age of 87. Reported the Agence France-Presse news agency said, citing a statement from his family.
According to media reports, Maya Ruiz-Picasso died surrounded by loved ones. However, no further details were released.
The artist’s daughter was born in 1935 in France. At that time, his father already had a son, Paul, from his marriage to Russian ballerina Olga Khokhlova.
Picasso’s daughter often posed for his paintings and sculptures. In particular, in 1938 the artist painted the famous Mayan painting with a boat.
After his father’s death in 1973, Ruiz-Picasso became an expert in his work, and throughout his life he worked as an art critic.
Recall that the famous contemporary artist, hiding under the pseudonym Banksy, became an honorary citizen of Irpin after he secretly visited this city, drawing some of his famous graffiti.
As we wrote last year in the United States, Sotheby’s held an auction, selling 11 works by Pablo Picasso. The most expensive work of art is the canvas Woman in a red-orange beret – the image of the artist’s beloved – Marie-Therese Walter. It was sold for $40 million.
