Artful Dodger


This little NY Times piece about a childhood memory of lunch with Picasso is delightful. Picasso uses a paper table cloth as a canvas and then, to the horror of the other lunch patrons, destroys it at the end of the meal. It's like a modernist mandala. Above, this portrait, taken by the French photographer Robert Doisneau, is another example of the artist's mischievous humor. As if I needed more inspiration to bake.
