A Gun-Slinging Pablo Picasso

History Daily

You’re probably much more used to Pablo Picasso wielding a paint brush than a revolver, but apparently depending on who he’s hanging out with, his interests become varied. The props you see him holding here were given to him by Gary Cooper while hanging out during the Cannes Film Festival in 1958. Unlike many other artists, Picasso happened to be incredibly popular and celebrated in his time. His paintings have been sold for millions of dollars, the Dora Maar Au Chat from 1941 actually sold at $95.216 million. He also had a tendency to invite guests over to his homes to entertain, even if it meant acting like a cowboy, hat, pistol and all.
