One Response to “Pablo Picasso – Self Portrait”

  • Great portrait! Pablo Picasso was a man of deep contradictions. He was a self avowed communist, and also one of the world’s wealthiest artists, leaving his heirs an estate valued at $260 million ($1.5 billion in 2008 dollars) when he died in 1973. Pablo Picasso once remarked, ‘I like to live like a poor man, except with lots of money’. Lol!
