What I like best about this
painting is a story I've heard about it. So the story goes, when the Nazis marched on
Paris, Picasso was there. The painting had been sent to
New York, and it's an incredible piece, it made waves. So, the
Nazis asked Picasso if he was responsible for it. And, he responded, "No. You are."
Whether it's true or not, It's a good story. If you are ever in Madrid, I highly recommend going to the Sofia Reina and seeing the painting. Although Picasso had wanted it to hang in the Prado, where it is now has given it space along side a nice collection of Picasso's pre-sketches. It is truly amazing.
