Picasso
Published Mar 01, 2004
A man commissioned Picasso to paint a portrait of his wife. Startled by a huge non-representational image on the canvas, the woman's husband complained, "That isn't how she really looks."
When asked by the great painter how she really looked, the man produced a photograph from his wallet. Returning the photo Picasso observed, "Small, isn't she?"
