As you might expect from one of the world’s most legendary artists, Pablo Picasso’s homes possessed the same arresting beauty as the work that made him famous. Born in 1881 in Málaga, Spain, his talent in the creative arts was nurtured from an early age by his father, who was a painter.
After dividing his time between Paris and Barcelona during his Blue Period, Picasso finally left Spain in 1904 for the country he’d call home for the rest of his life: France. The artist eventually found his sanctuary in the picturesque Côte d’Azur. Inspired by the scenic environment around him, Picasso filled each of his home-slash-studio spaces in the French Riviera with his priceless paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. Read on for an intimate look into the artist’s domestic life, where the residences themselves became the canvas for his singular creative eye.
