Did you know?
Tom Waits had his portrait painted by Pablo Picasso right before the master’s death. The painting featured a black trilby hat, partially obscuring a piano grin with a cigarette limply hanging off its lip. The rest of the painting consists of a fountain of razor sharp triangles cutting into each other, threatenning to cut into the central figure. Some refer to the painting as proof of Picasso’s fear of castration, but then again Waits has been known to inspire the same fear even in women!
