Picasso con los exiliados

"The beginnings in Paris are always hard, difficult: you have to adapt to the climate, the cold winters, the language, the customs, you have to work a lot." When Mercedes Comaposada Guillén arrives in exile in Paris in 1939, her meeting with Picasso becomes an event that marks her life and inaugurates a friendship that will last decades. His memoirs draw a portrait of the most human and everyday Picasso, closest to the defeated Spaniards, whom he helped and served as a link with French society. His testimony is a valuable document to understand the life of the Spanish exiles upon their arrival in France with only what they could carry, without knowing where they were going to sleep, how they were going to stay warm in the cold winter or what they were going to eat.
