LOL! I think that you have hit an important facet of his personality, actually, that he was difficult, demanding, and the women in his life put up with a lot, and often spoiled him. Certainly, the painting is in some sense ugly, and yet it is very impressive, especially in scale, and seems to me to express the sort of jangled nerves that a boy from Catholic Spain, perhaps a little over-indulged with mother love, might feel after a few days of drinking and whoring. He has the sense of women as hideous idols that must be served, as if after his indulgence, he feels less the cocksman than the supplicant. The tables have been turned......

I agree with Neocon's response re Picasso's personality. I should not have wanted to live with the man. The painting, on the other hand, I could gaze at for hours.

BTW, have you ever seen his "Guernica"? Truly heartbreaking and chilling.
