Forty Years Ago-Hace Cuarenta Años


Two days ago was the fortieth anniversary of the day we left Argentina. The photo was taken in the pier before we embarked in the liner Augustus. Patricia is the pretty girl and I am the guy with the beard

Hace dos dias se cumplieron cuarenta años de cuando nos fuimos de Argentina. La foto fue sacada en el puerto antes de embarcarnos en el Augustus. Patricia es la mas linda del grupo y yo soy el de la barba.

Two-For-A-Dime-Picasso/El Picasso de diez guitas (1962)






I put this picture to confirm the date
Oscar Grillo in 1961
I loved Picasso and I borrowed liberally from his bulfighting pictures. I have never seen a bullfight in my life as you can see, but Picasso's pictures drove me nuts. Loved them with a passion. I was learning then and my drawings were shit, but that's the way one learns, by imitating the best.

Era loco por Picasso y tomé prestado desvergozadamente de sus dibujos de tauromaquia. Nunca habia asistido a una corrida de toros en mi vida como podras podras ver, pero los trabajos de Picasso sobre el tema me maravillaban. Aun me siguen gustando con la misma pasión. Yo estaba aprendiendo y mis dibujos eran una mierda, pero este es el modo en que uno puede aprender, imitando a los mejores.
