In an exhibit hall in Cannes Hundreds of Picasso’s paintings were in chronological display from what he had painted as an adolescent all the way up to his experiments as an 85 year old master.

It seems like the dates should be reversed. How do you explain this? Easily replied Picasso, “It takes a long time to become young.”
