jack_babalonThis is one of my favorite stories. A true one and a quick one at that. I'll try to tell it as best as I can remember it.
When Paris was occupied by the Nazis in 1940, the German Officers would frequent the studio of a well known anti-facist painter, Pablo Picasso for 'spot inspections'. When the officers came by for their weekly visit Picasso would offer each of them a print of his most famous painting, "Guernica". When the officers would smirk and ask him "Did you do this?" he would give them a quick smile and say -
"No, you did!"
Got a call from the folks from Madrid. Mom told me, through the static and the distance that she finally got to see Guernica. She told me she cried when she stepped through the gallery and came face to face with the what some will say is the painting of the 20th century.
