Summary

In the inaugural episode of the Picasso: Origin Story, we meet Picasso's parents. We also analyze what’s in a name (it's oddly important to this story), being useless at 38, a banana-centric business model, pigeon art (the classy kind), and the weird birth of a future legend. We do talk about art history. But, if we're being completely honest, we talk more about prostitutes than art. Also, Mike takes a swipe at St. Louis, Detroit, and the entire state of Alabama for some reason, while Mitch has a clear preference for the majestic bull over cats.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Mitchell Bishop. And I'm Michael Anthony. Welcome to ArtHoles.

0:28.6	But we're only going to talk about Picasso's origin story.
0:31.8	For a couple of reasons. One, it's his life is so long and it's
0:35.0	so long and it's so dense we'd be here for 16 episodes and I don't think
0:39.0	people know enough about us or care enough about us to commit to that long of a story.
0:43.0	It's good to change it up.
0:44.0	So the other reason we're not going to talk about the entire story is a source issue.
0:48.0	So the main source we're going to be using for this first series, Picasso's origin story, is a book called
0:54.0	The Life of Picasso, the Prodigy, 1881 to 1906 by John Richardson.
0:58.9	So we have to talk about the source before we can even get into the story.
1:02.4	John Richardson is Sir John Richardson now.
1:04.6	He was knighted for his work as Picasso's biographer.
