"Picasso was once accosted on a train by a stranger who recognized him. The stranger complained: Why couldn't he draw pictures of people the way they actually were? Why did he have to distort the way people looked? Picasso then asked the man to show him pictures of his family. After gazing at the snapshot, Picasso replied, "Oh, is your wife really that small and flat?" To Picasso, any picture, no matter how "realistic," depended on the perspective of the observer."
