When Pablo Picasso was 45 years old, he began a romantic and sexual relationship with Marie-Thérèse Walter. When asked about the significant age gap between the two, Picasso responded “It was perfect. I was in my prime, she was in her prime." She was 17. What is a Girl For? uses the myth of the Minotaur, and contemporary criticism to help Marie-Thérèse tell her side of the story.
