The Death of Max Jacob

quote [ [Picasso] did say, “Max is an angel. He can fly over the wall by himself.”

This incident is perhaps the most widely known story about Max Jacob, and is the one thing many people think they know about him. It provides several satisfactions: that of showing a famous artist to be a monster, and his lost friend as a victim. But the situation was far more complex. ]

Existential anecdotes from 1944 France. Check a painting in Chicago and brief Wikipedia.

Maybe Jonathon Richman had it wrong and there were people who called Pablo Picasso an asshole?
