Picasso at Tate Modern.

 At the exhibition of the work of the revolutionary artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). There was for me a very evocative portrait of a Girl in a Chemise. My psychoanalyst had a copy of the picture in her consulting room. She lived about a mile from Freud, when he came to London in September 1938 - he was of course very ill with cancer and died in September 1939. So for me memories came rushing back when I saw the picture. It’s interesting as I finished my analysis after 12 years in July 1984, but it felt like only yesterday, that I last saw this picture.
