He knew it well.
Pablo Picasso.
But, you know, then you bring in, well, some of the most important women in his life, you know, Gertrude Stein.

Intellectual, a patron, a fabulous artist in her own means who, although she's dealing with literary arts, was probably transformative for him.
And then he was dealing with a number of others as well.
So I think it was more to do with the fact that women...
in his view, played different roles in his life at different periods of time.
I think early on, he really needed time.
He was learning the craft of transforming the history of art, and he was really studying on his own all of these books.
notebook after notebook after notebook filled with various pages.
And then he also spent a lot of time with his male friends.
So I think it was always complex around these relationships and this aspect of control and this aspect of what he really wanted to do at a particular moment in time.
Yeah, I think that locking Fernand Olivier in the house is pretty violent.
And yes, I think he could be.
I don't know in every context about how that was being framed.
But I do know that there were many ways in which artists were violent in different ways.
He was very close to Matisse.
And Matisse had his models sit still for 45 minutes, an hour without moving and would capture them at that moment of pain when they couldn't stand it anymore, which to my mind is cruel.
We can talk about cruelty and violence.
