The artist Pablo Picasso has died of a heart attack at his chateau near Cannes on the French Riviera. He suffered the fatal seizure at approximately 1100 local time (1000GMT). His wife, Jacqueline, and son, Paolo, were with him when he died.
The painting considered the first of his Blue Period, Casagemas in His Coffin, was completed later in 1901 when Picasso was sinking into a major depression. Picasso, normally an outgoing socializer, withdrew from his friends. Picasso's bout of depression was to last several years.
