If it w...Well, that one has me scratching my head. If it were an animation cell, I could understand it, because the provenance is all about the cartoon itself (I collect animation cells, too). <br />Of course, I confess that it took me awhile, through my youth, to appreciate Picasso. A peson finally comes to realize that there is always something in even his simplest work: the perfect capture of a woman's body with just a few deft strokes for instance...or the feeling of terror and fear and movement in "Guernica." And there's always something new to find with each viewing of a Picasso. And, strange and twisted though it may seem, there's always such a keen sense of design and balance.<br /><br />This piece, though...I'm a bit stumped. It must be, somehow, in the provenance...maybe in past things the artist has done that make ANYTHING the artist does valuable. Remember, Picasso used to pay restaurant bills by sketching something quickly on a napkin. So...it could just be the artist's name and reputation. Other than that, I'm stumped, Jay.P.
