She had more than 80 sittings for this 1906 portrait.
"Everyone thinks she does not look like her portrait, but never mind, she will". (Picasso)
A man once criticized Picasso for creating unrealistic art. Picasso asked him: "Can you show me some realistic art?" The man showed him a photograph of his wife. Picasso observed: "So your wife is two inches tall, two-dimensional, with no arms and no legs, and no color but only shades of gray?"

Yes, indeed how interisting this story is. Picasso had such a colorful life. As for gertrude Stein's painting, I tried incorporating it once on this painting. It is on the wall.

I love it!!!!! What a great quote. Picasso may have not been the nicest guy but he was definitely an artistic genius. I recently saw a show of Picasso and American artists who were influenced by him at the SF Museum of Modern Art. It was amazing to see all the famous artists trying to imitate his styles. I love the Stein portrait too. Once I did a portrait of someone's kid from a photo that was a year earlier. She was amazed because I'd somehow made the portrait look how the boy looked now (without ever seeing him) instead of a year earlier as a tot.
