Picasso Is Dead in France at 91
MOUGINS, France, April 8—Pablo Picasso, the titan of 20th‐century art, died this morning at his hilltop villa of Notre Dame de Vie here. He was 91 years old.
The death of the Spanishborn artist was attributed to pulmonary edema, fluid in the lungs, by Dr. Jean‐Claude Rance, a local physician who was summoned to the 35‐room mansion by the family. Dr. Rance said that Picasso had been ill for several weeks.
With him when he died was his second wife, the 47‐year‐old Jacqueline Roque, whom he married in 1961. In the last few years, Picasso rarely left his 17‐acre estate, which was surrounded by barbed wire. He had been in exile from his native land since 1939, when Generalissimo Francisco Franco defeated the Republican Government of Spain in the three‐year Civil War.
About 10 days ago, Picasso was helping to assemble 201 of his paintings for exhibition at the Avignon Arts Festival, which will open in that city May 23 at the Palais des Papes. According to Paul Puaux, the festival director who had visited the artist at his home on the Riviera above Cannes, these canvases covered the artist's output from October, 1970 to the close of 1972.

Museum Is Thronged In Spontaneous Tribute
Large crowds thronged about the Picassos at the Museum of Modern Art yesterday afternoon.
Tourists, museumgoers and television camera crews mingled before “Guernica,” “Harlequin,” “The Card Player” and “The Studio,” major works from the middle years of 1913 to 1937. The museum put a large vase of flowers in the main lobby and nearby a strip of cloth with “Picasso” lettered on it in gold.
“Guernica” drew many to the third floor. “I was a small girl when he did this painting,” said Margaret Schneider of Brooklyn. Rose Friedman of Huntington, L.I., called it “haunting.”
Mya Kroksteron of Stockholm called the reaction at the museum touching.
900 of his early works to Barcelona. These were said to be the best of his output up to 1917.
Earlier, in 1963, Picasso's close friend, the late Jaime Sabartes, had donated his Picasso collection of some 400 works to the city of Barcelona, and the Palacio Aguilar was then renamed the Picasso Museum. However, the Franco regime covertly opposed the museum and the artist's name was not on the door.
A Paris friend credited Picasso's gift to Barcelona to his sense of irony. “He liked putting an important Picasso collection right in the middle of Barcelona when there was unrest in Spain and Franco was on his way out,” the friend explained.
Picasso's works fetched enormous prices at auction, in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. By sales through his dealers, the artist himself became wealthy, although the precise size of his estate was not known.
In addition to his wife, Picasso leaves four children, son, Paulo, born to his late first wife, the dancer Olga Khoklova; a daughter, Mrs. Pierre Widmaier, born to his mistress Marie‐Therese Walter, and a son, Claude, and a daughter, Paloma, both the children of Frangoise Gilot, another mistress, now the wife of the biologist Dr. Jonas Salk.
Funeral plans were incomplete last night.
His Genius Is Hailed
Following are some of the tributes to Picasso expressed yesterday:
ALFRED H. BARR JR., first director of the Museum of Modern Art and a leading Picasso scholar: In his great mural, Guernica, he expressed for all time his fury against the bestiality of war and man's cruelty against man. Unlike most artists, age did not slacken his energy; he worked on uninterruptedly to the end. We are fortunate in having been witness to his presence in our time.
HENRY MOORE, the sculptor: There's no doubt Picasso was a unique and great person. He was a phenomenon, really.
THOMAS HART BENTON, American artist: He was an artist who stays within art. I'm a regionalist who goes out and lives with art and looks at the people. For that reason I've never paid too much attention to him. Making some kind of a judgment, that's going to take 20 to 25 years to see if he stands up.
JULIO ALVAREZ DEL VAYO, former Spanish Foreign Minister: I consider him not only the greatest painter of the century but also one of the greatest of Spaniards. He was a great patriot, a defender of the rights of the Spanish people.
MAURICE DRUON, French Minister of Cultural Affairs: A very great artist of protean genius. He filled his century with his colors, his forms, his seekings, his audacities and his vivacious personage.
MEYER SCHAPIRO, art historian: Picasso's art more than any other has given our century confidence in the creative powers of man.
ROBERT MOTHERWELL, American artist: He is the last artist in this century who will dominate the scene, who will have been a real king during his lifetime. Now it will become a republic…. I think any contemporary modern artist feels as though his ? belnvPriorand father had died.
J. CARTER BROWN, director of National Gallery of Art: Certainly he is a major force in the 20th century and one of its authentic geniuses in any field. He has changed the way we see.
HENRY GELDZAHLER, curator of 20th‐century art at Metropolitan Museum of Art: His work will live on and cast its spell on younger artists, The implications of what he's done haven't been worked out. His greatness was in throwing out ideas, in never repeating himself.
THOMAS MESSER, director of Guggenheim Museum: Not only is the art of the first half of this century unthinkable without Picasso, but suspect the world itself would have been different and quite unimaginable without him.
