Growing up with Picasso: An Interview with Gro Nesjar, art historian and daughter of Carl Nesjar, Picasso's greatest collaborator
from Woman of Culture · host Mira T. Sundara Rajan
This episode features an interview with Gro Nesjar, art historian and daughter of Norwegian artist Carl Nesjar, who pioneered "betograve," an innovative method of sculpting with concrete, and became Pablo Picasso's closest collaborator. Picasso and the much-younger Nesjar created more than 30 works together, in different locations around the world, over a period of 17 years. In this episode, Gro talks about her experiences growing up with her father and Picasso, the relationship between these two unique artists, and her struggle to preserve the integrity of the murals created by her father and Picasso in Oslo after 2011's terrorist attack in the city. She also discusses her brilliant artistic mother and the difficult relationship between art, artists, and gender in Western culture – a situation that is slowly but surely changing.
