"Art Can Only be Erotic."

Picasso paintings stolen

PARIS (AP) - <<In a stealthy overnight heist, burglars slipped into
the Paris apartment of Picasso's granddaughter and spirited away two
portraits of women the artist loved, slicing one of the paintings out
of its frame. The thieves were so quiet that the two people in the
apartment of Diana Widmaier-Picasso at the time didn't hear them make
off with the art treasures, police said. The burglars left few clues,
and police said they were not sure how the intruders gained entry. The
two paintings - one of Pablo Picasso's daughter Maya, the other of his
second wife, Jacqueline - together are worth an estimated $66 million.
The paintings join 549 other missing or stolen works by the prolific
Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist and ceramist, considered by
many the leading artist of the 20th century.
According to the Web site of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
Picasso produced more than 20,000 works of art.
.
Burglars entered the apartment in a chic corner of the Left Bank late
Monday or early Tuesday, police and the prosecutor's office said.
Police said they were examining a door lock to see if it was broken,
and were unsure if the alarm system had been turned on. Once inside
the apartment, the thieves cut the edges of one painting, "Maya and
the Doll," to take it out of its frame, a police official said,
speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation is
continuing .
.
The painting has sentimental value for Widmaier-Picasso: It shows her
mother, Maya, as a young girl in pigtails, eyes askew in an off-kilter
Cubist perspective. Another version of the painting hangs in the
Picasso Museum in Paris. Maya was Picasso's daughter. Her mother was
Marie-Therese Walter, whom Picasso met when she was a fresh-faced,
blonde teenager. Their affair did not last. Four years after Picasso
died in 1973, Walter committed suicide by hanging. Maya Picasso
married Pierre Widmaier and had three children, Olivier, Richard and
Diana Widmaier-Picasso, an art historian and author of a book called
"Picasso: Art Can Only be Erotic."
.
The other missing painting is "Portrait of Jacqueline," and the
burglars took the frame with it, police said. The painting was one of
many that depict Picasso's second wife, Jacqueline Roque, whom he
married in 1961 when he was 79 years old and she was in her mid-30s.
After Picasso died of a heart attack, his heirs divided up the
paintings that he treasured over the years. While the two stolen
portraits are worth tens of millions of dollars, they are not as
valuable as some other works - Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe," for
instance, sold at auction in 2004 for $78.7 million. But the stolen
paintings are important because the artist chose to keep them, said
Pepe Karmel, an associate professor at New York University and the
author of "Picasso and the Invention of Cubism."
"They were meaningful to him, so he didn't sell them," Karmel said.
It was unclear if the thieves also made off with drawings by Picasso.
Police and the Paris prosecutor's office mentioned only the two
paintings, but the director of the Picasso Museum in Paris, Anne
Baldassari, said several paintings and drawings were stolen.>>

You see, your post right there is trolling. Changing the subject
heading of a troll thread (instead of starting a new thread) is
trolling.
You have no idea what trolling is, Carroll. In fact, you have no idea,
period.

O, wow. More insights from our 'brilliant' crapologist.

Yeah, HYPOCRITE, you know all about TROLLING and SPAMMING, dontacha.
NEuendorfer used to be the worst spammer here- and was the cause of a
good many complaints for it- and then you come along and post DOUBLE
the SPAM, so that we are, as one poster put it: WADING in EXCREMENT
Good one.

Ooo, how biting (in fact I've seen toothless grandmothers with more
bite than Trollsby).
Write better Trollsby, or write none at all.

Those are debatable, Art.

Really?

I'll grant you those two as well. Also Boeotic. And eccoprotic.
And of course tommyrotic. But decidedly *NOT* rhodostaurotic!

You should at least grant me chaotic

I could have run off to Canada like Lynne but, instead,
I served my two years in the Army Signal Corps
(...which also makes me semiotic).

No that would be you, wouldn't it.

Together, Dave, we ARE symbiotic
(and our cut & paste posts are robotic osmotic).

Perhaps you have a point, Art -- George Mason doesn't seem to have
moved in years. I'm willing to grant you carotic.

If so, then you're emulating a Stratfordian about 98% of the time,
Art.

I doubt that Lynne had much to fear from the Selective Service
System.

If so, then your signal-to-noise ratio attained its absolute
maximum then, an extreme value that it has not recoVERed even 1% of in
decades. But your service is indeed praiseworthy, Art -- particularly
when one considers how absurdly easy it would have been for you to
have obtained a 4-F classification. WhateVER you may have done with
your draft card, you plainly did not burn your daft card.

No, Art; look it up for yourself. (You do know how to use a
dictionary, don't you, Art?)

I thought that you had exposed someone else, Art -- but check out
the 18th degree of the Scottish Rite.

Neither of those fits you, Art; instead, I suggest intellectually
auto-erotic.
