Seeing Olivier Widmaier Picasso for the first time you can not help but notice the resemblance to his grandfather, the father of modern art, Pablo Picasso. Beyond an admitted nose-likeness he does resemble Pablo on some deeper level. Was I looking for this and did that cloud an objective view?-Hard to tell in this dream we call life. Grandson of Picasso, Grandson of Marie-Therese, Son of Maya Widmayer-Picasso. Olivier Picasso is often thought of as 'of' this and that.

Only from Leonardo could you clone out a larger stable.

'...You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move.
