"Her name was Marie-Thérèse Walter. She was seventeen when Picasso fell in love with her. Picasso was already married and thirty years her senior, so they kept their affair a secret. But he documented his passion by hiding her initials in some of his paintings. Of course, Picasso wasn't completely ready to settle down and he left Marie-Thérèse for Dora Maar just like he left his wife Olga for Marie-Thérèse. But Marie-Thérèse never stopped loving Picasso and she hung herself after his death. She just loved him so much, and in the end, he didn't really love her back. It's just sad."
