Paseo del Prado, 36, 28014 Madrid, Spain

“Women are either goddesses or doormats,” Picasso once said. Which of these was Olga Khokhlova, the Diaghilev dancer who became Picasso’s first wife? For a period she served as his muse, and he painted her frame with slender lines. Then, when Picasso began his affair with Marie-Thérèse Walter, his perception of Olga changed. Along with paintings, “Olga Picasso” includes letters, photographs, furniture, and family relics. —E.C.
