Marc Chagall was famous for writing checks for nearly everything he bought. Many of the recipients would never cash the checks and just keep it as a souvenir.

Picasso sometimes just gave away paintings to strangers for admiring his work. He would also scribble drawings on checks that he wrote for goods and services, knowing that many people wouldn't cash them.

There’s an old story about Picasso asking a cabinetmaker to make a chest as a gift for his lady friend Maria Callas...
It goes that the cabinetmaker asked Picasso to show him what he has in mind, so Picasso makes a sketch on a scrap of paper...
When it’s finished and Picasso goes by the shop to pick up the chest, he asks the cabinetmaker what he owes...
The cabinetmaker produces the sketch and says “Please sign your sketch”...
Anyway, that’s the way I heard it...

I really don’t know why people like Picasso. At least to me his stuff is just plain ugly. It’s like a case of “The emperor has no clothes”: everyone thinks it’s great, because they think everyone thinks it’s great.

So did my daughter. Hers were generally better than his, too.
