Picasso stories

i just learnt that Pablo Picasso's full name is: Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paulo Juan Nepomuceno Maria de los Remedios Crispin Crispian Santisima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.

and i also just discovered how funny he was.. hahah... here are some stories i found:

1. Picasso being interviewed by a lady magazine writer is asked about what he and all the artists of the Post Impressionist and cubists movements would talk about when the gathered in cafes during the evenings in Paris. What grand ideas would be exchanged?

Picasso's reply: "We used to talk about where to get the cheapest turpentine."

2. There is a story of Picasso being accosted by a stranger who asked him why he did not paint things as they really are.

Picasso looked puzzled, "I do not really understand what you mean," he replied.

The man produced a photograph of his wife. "Look," he said, "like that. That's what my wife really looks like."

Picasso looked doubtful. "She is very small, is she not? And a little bit flat?"
