Pablo Picasso had many significant relationships with women that influenced his art. His first major love was Fernande Olivier, who inspired the colorful Rose Period paintings. Later relationships included Olga Koklova, Marie-Therese Walter, Dora Maar, and Francoise Gilot. These women endured Picasso's abusive behavior both physically and emotionally. His depictions of suffering, distorted women in works like The Weeping Women integrated his personal life and relationships into his artwork. Many of the women in Picasso's life met with tragedy after their time with the famous artist.
