Pablo, Gertrude & Alice: The Puppets
Two photos from Ed Atkeson’s Firlefanz Puppet show in Troy, NY last week. Pablo really looked like himself, Gertrude & Alice were a bit out of sorts, most certainly due to the fact that they really couldn’t stomach Pablo’s claims to be a poet rather than just a painter. How great a poet Picasso was, you can check for yourselves by getting The Burial of the Count of Orgaz & Other Poems.

Hi Pierre,
Fabulous. Incroyable.
This is my dream-a-poem-dream-a-puppet-show-with-Gertrude-and-Alice kind of event. Any chance of it touring to Australia ?
