Pablo Picasso's 1955 painting 'Les femmes d'Alger (Version '0')' sold for $179.4 million yesterday, breaking the record for an artwork sold at auction. A collector pointed out that our 1977 Dorothy Brett painting (right) bears a resemblance to a figure in 'Les femmes'... what do you think?

Happy birthday to Francis Picabia. The French painter and writer was born on this day in 1879. Inspiration for this painting came from his memories of a no-holds-barred wrestling match and the movements of a Polish dancer. ”Catch as Catch Can,” 1913, by Francis Picabia (© Artists Rights Society [ARS], New York / ADAGP, Paris)

Sanatçının gerektiği için çalıştığını anlasınlar özellikle. Açıklamak gereğini duymadığımız ama bizi büyüleyen doğadaki bir çok şeye verilen önemden çok bir önem verilmemesi gerekir sanatçıya, çünkü o da dünyanın en küçük üyelerinden biridir. Bir tabloyu açıklamaya çalışanlar çok zaman yanlış yola saparlar. Bir süre önce Gertrude Stein neşe içinde tablomun neyi göstermek istediğini anladığını söylemişti.
