SOUNDBITE: (French) Genevieve Laporte, Picasso's mistress during the early 1950s: "Everything that's in here is for sale. Pablo used to call them 'your little drawings, my love letters'. He even added, if friends tell you that they have some kind of value, tear them up in front of them and I'll do some more for you. But I did not want to tear up my little drawings, so I did not tear up the little drawings." 10. Medium pan of different drawings 11. Mid shot of three other drawings 12. Close up of Picasso's signature 13. SOUNDBITE: (French) Genevieve Laporte, Picasso's mistress during the early 1950s: "Some of the drawings were done in Saint-Tropez, and then, when we got back to Paris, some were done in Paris and some of them were even done, I think, in Vallauris, which he sent to me. He would not always do them in front of me. Sometimes I was there, and sometimes he wanted, there was this big table just under his studio, and he would tell me to just sit in front of him and do whatever I wanted, draw, read, do whatever. 'The important thing is that you are here'. I was in front of him when he was drawing. That's one of the great moments, you know, to see him work." 14.

Marie-Therese Walter hanged herself. Jacqueline Roque shot herself in the temple. Dora Maar became a recluse, dying poor and alone. So it's a surprise to see Genevieve Laporte, with her laugh lines and throaty chuckle, looking sprightly at the age of 79. She survived Picasso and then some, becoming an award-winning poet and documentary filmmaker. When Laporte was 24, she began a two-year secret affair with the 70-year-old master. She was a beautiful, tousle-haired former Resistance fighter. Picasso sketched her again and again, naked in bed, in a fantasy wedding gown and in a prim sailor sweater. On June 27, Laporte will sell 20 of Picasso's sketches in Paris. Worth an estimated 1.8 (m) million to 2.4 (m) million US dollars, they show a soft side of the womanising genius. The sale, by the Artcurial auction house, will take place at the Hotel Dassault. "Everything that's in here is for sale," she said. "Pablo used to call them 'your little drawings, my love letters'. He even added, if friends tell you that they have some kind of value, tear them up in front of them and I'll do some more for you. But I did not want to tear up my little drawings, so I did not tear up the little drawings." Laporte said she got out of their relationship in time, before the affair turned sour. After she left, she said that artist Jean Cocteau told her she had just saved her skin. Laporte met Picasso when she was 17 and interviewed him for the school newspaper. Seven years later, after she had travelled to the United States and begun working, Laporte saw Picasso again at his apartment. She blamed her seduction on a late-afternoon storm. The two had their on-and-off affair when Picasso was with painter Francoise Gilot.
