One whole wall in the museum is devoted to Picasso’s platters. You’ll see depictions of his pet owl, his girlfriend, and of course, bullfighters. To Picasso, the bullfight depicted the power struggle between men and women, with the bull being the man and the horse being the woman. Picasso was notorious for his poor treatment of women and allegations of domestic abuse. He once said that there were only two kinds of women “goddesses or doormats.” Clearly, the #MeToo movement would have been hard for him to accept.
