Picasso behind the mirror

How did Picasso manage the different women he knew, one after another? How did he avoid a military duty and three wars? What about his political commitment? Why did he not become a French citizen? So many questions that demonstrate the human matter in Picasso and his complexity - what actually nourished his myth.
