Olga Khokhlova Biography

Olga Khokhlova was born in Ukraine in 1891. She became a ballet dancer in the Ballets Russes as a young woman. She was a dancer in Parade in 1917, which was a collaboration between Sergei Diaghilev and Jean Cocteau. With Cocteau’s urging, Pablo Picasso became in charge of the costumes and set design for this production. Their romance was slow at first – she was chaste and required courting but Picasso was 35 and desperately wanted to start a family. When the ballet moved on to tour South America, Khokhlova ultimately stayed in Barcelona with Picasso.

They were finally married on July 12^th, 1918 at a Russian Orthodox Church with Jean Cocteau serving as a witness. Back in Paris, the couple moved in next to Picasso’s dealer Paul Rosenberg where the two slowly climbed up the ladder of society.

Olga Stepahovna Khokhlova

Olga Khokhlova was Pablo Picasso’s first muse and, to her eventually despair, his first wife. She was born in 1891 in what is now the Ukraine. Her family were Russian aristocrats, but Olga had always dreamt of becoming a dancer. Her family allowed to train and she eventually joined Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes. In Paris in 1917 she was dancing in the ballet Parade for which Picasso had designed the costumes and set. This was a meeting that would put paid to her career. Swept off her feet, almost literally, she left the company to travel with him to Barcelona, then to Paris, becoming part of the Bohemian set while Picasso developed his distinctive style. Olga and Pablo married in 1918, travelling as Pablo’s commissions took them. They became great friends with the elegant American Gerald Murphys, who held a summer court on the Plage de la Garoupe in Antibes, where Olga danced on the beach and Picasso was entranced by the earth-mother like Sarah Murphy.
