Pablo Picasso: He went through life like a hurricane
Telegraph.co.uk – Nov 17, 2007
Picasso emerged unscathed from the circles of the Ballets Russes as he emerged later from the social circles of the Riviera that so tantalised F Scott Fitzgerald or indeed in some hilarious passages from the half-witted lion-hunters of Bloomsbury. (“Why” Picasso bitchily said “when I ask about modern artists in England am I always told about Duncan Grant?”) Little touched him and he took merely what he needed. Other artists may have been moulded by their circumstances but Picasso went through life like a hurricane and nothing afterwards was quite in the place it had been before. Among Picasso’s overpowering qualities were his sexual charisma and his devotion to the chase. They affected almost everything he painted and the most unlikely things were transformed into breasts and genitalia even an innocent-looking still life of two apples and an earthenware jug. But they also drove him onwards in ways almost incredible to contemplate. There seems little doubt that for long periods of his life he visited whores daily.

Photo: Focus BanglaAround 95 percent standing crops in 11 coastal districts have been affected badly by the hurricane Sidr agriculture ministry sources said. They said farming of shrimp and cattle were also damaged by the hurricane. Economists feared the Sidr would take its toll on the livelihood of ultra-poor people as inflation rate will increase. They suggested increasing funds for different social safety net programmes and initiating rehabilitation activities immediately. Ayub Mia acting secretary of the food and disaster management ministry in a press conference yesterday said Aman cultivation might be hampered due to the hurricane.

cars may have ended up in the landlocked nation drawn by loose import rules a thriving smugglers' economy and an insatiable hunger for cheap wheels. The hurricane relics are part of a deluge of used imports rapidly transforming South America's poorest country. Fueled by money sent home by migrants abroad the number of vehicles on Bolivia's few paved highways is expected to double in the next five years. McGaw's Mini is still a long way from joining the traffic jam. Hauled south on a container ship imported through the Chilean port of Iquique and trucked over the mountains to this Andean valley city the coupe is now perched on a hydraulic lift stripped to its chassis and surrounded by its rusty innards. The new owner — worried that publicity will reduce the car's resale value and perhaps smarting from automotive heartbreak — declined through his mechanic Ramiro Sanchez to be identified or interviewed.
