It’s a great series of lithos, ut the article is hurt by some factual errors and op ed at the bottom under “facts,” which makes one wonder about the rest of it.

Nice Lithos though. Got me all guernica’d up.

“My mother said to me, ‘If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.’ Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.”
