Summary:
"Pablo Picasso puede ser uno de los pintores más famosos del siglo XX, pero eso no quiere decir que él siempre pintó las cosas que los demás querían que pintara. De hecho, algunas personas detestaban sus pinturas. Pero a Picasso no le importaba la opinión de esas personas y se mantuvo pintando lo que él quería hasta llegar a pintar algo tan diferente que la gente no supo qué decir." --Publisher. Pablo Picasso may have been a world-famous 20th century artist, but that doesn't mean he painted what people wanted him to paint or that no one ever called his artwork "ugly." "[This is] the story of how Pablo Picasso painted the way he wanted to paint, and left the world speechless! ... [S]ome people hated his paintings! But Picasso didn't listen to all those people, and kept on working the way he wanted to work, until he created something so different... that people didn't know what to say!" Any kid who's been told what to draw, or heard mean things about something they made, will relate to this story about how Pablo faced down his critics and made something truly original.-- Adapted from the publisher's statement.
