Picasso between the sheets


If this story doesn’t describe the European zeitgeist, then very few will.
As you likely know, Pablo Picasso had an insatiable appetite for life. And he painted a bit, too.
But now, a canvas bequeathed to Greece by Pablo Picasso will return on display at the freshly updated Greek National Gallery in Athens after its restoration from a 2012 theft and the arrest of a construction worker as a suspect.
Missing for nine years, the paintings were found wrapped in plastic in a dry riverbed outside Athens after the arrest of the perpetrator in the 2012 crime.
