Picasso was a nut. He gave his stuff away all of the time. I tend to believe him. If he was a thief, wouldn’t he have sold this stuff piecemeal over the years?

I seem to remember a spoof on Picasso about him drawing a doodle on a napkin to pay a restaurant bill.

At least I think it was a spoof. It was a long time ago (80s, IIRC).

***I seem to remember a spoof on Picasso about him drawing a doodle on a napkin to pay a restaurant bill.***

At the celebration of Shakespear's 400th birthday, Picasso did a doodle using about 14 lines.

Critics called it "Just a sketch and not worth anything".

Other critics called it a MAJOR WORK OF ART AND PRICELESS!

You be the judge.

That was an old SNL ski t with Jon Lovitz as Picasso. Part of went something like:

“$250 for the bar tab?!?” *scribble scribble* *hands over a drawing to the waiter* “Here ya go! Keep the change! I’m PICASSO!”

Diego Rivera did the same, there is a bar in Palm Springs that have some of his bar napkin drawings.
