Reseña: It is a stunning collection of candid and intimate photographs documenting the last years of Pablo Picassos life. As a friend of the Picasso family the Argentine photographer journalist writer and documentary filmmaker Roberto Otero (1931-2004) had a unique opportunity to continuously document Pablo Picasso and his circle of friends during the last years of Picassos life in the south of France. Over the course of nearly ten years from 1961 to 1970 Otero made hundreds of portraits of Picasso amassing a vast collection of photographs. A number of circumstances make Oteros photographic work exceptional. The first is without doubt the size and scope of the collection. The second is that it covers precisely the period when the number of photographs taken of Picasso dropped in comparison to previous decades so Oteros pictures inevitably became the most important documentary record of the artists old age. It is this very fact however along with his familiarity with and access to the artists private circle that make Oteros archive so unique and ultimately so natural.
