“No one cares who Picasso fucks… not even Picasso.” Have you ever seen the play “A Picasso” by Jeffery Hatcher? It was the last show we did before the current Xmas show that just closed. A fictional history of a meeting between Picasso and a female German Cultural Attache who wants Picasso to validate 3 sketches. She needs “a picasso” to include in a public burning”

Very clever play built around quotes and sayings of Picasso and how he would have reacted to this. Two people, 1 hour 20 minutes, one act, no intermission.

Both our actors have been nominated for best actress/actor awards for the show in the local Denver awards.

That Picasso quote is AWESOME, I’m saving that. I LOLed. :D I haven’t seen the play, but now I totally want to!

Oh and because now we’re shifting gears away from ARGH to ART, I’ll link to some of my favorite artists: Phil Hale, Rick Berry, Coop, Mark Ryden, Senecal, Bill Sienkiewicz, and of course I love Warhol, also Edgar Degas, Picasso, and Goya.
