Glossary
Key to T or F and MC Questions
According to Gertrude Stein she visited the painters studio eighty orninety times while he painted her picture. While Picasso painted they talkedabout everything in the world that interested them. Then one day Picassowiped out the painted head on which he had worked for so long. “When Ilook at you I cant see you any more！” he remarked. Picasso went away for the summer. When he returned he went at onceto the unfinished picture in the corner of his studio. Quickly he finished theface from memory. He could see the womans face more clearly in his mindthan he could see it when she sat in the studio in front of him. When people complained to him that the painting of Miss Stein didnt looklike her, Picasso would reply, “Too bad. Shell have to arrange to look like thepicture.” But thirty years later Gertrude Stein said that Picassos painting of herwas the only picture she knew that showed her as she really was.
