You Get What You Pay For (another fine example)



   There’s a similar story to the one about the woman and the hat maker. This one’s about Picasso, sitting at a Parisian Café in the 20s, doodling on a napkin and waiting for a friend, when another patron recognizes him and asks if he can purchase the napkin. “Certainly”, replies Picasso, “that will be $10,000 dollars.” The patron guffaws: “But I just watched you draw that. It only took you a few minutes!” Picasso smiles, “No sir, that took my entire life.”

Pablo Picasso’s former home in the French village Mougins just north of Cannes, Mas de Notre-Dame du Vie.
