There is a beautiful story about Picasso. It was during the Nazi occupation in France. The great painter was summoned to Gestapo headquarters. He found a Nazi officer studying one of Picasso's most famous paintings. The painting depicted the brutal destruction of Guernica by the Nazis during the Spanish Civil War. The Gestapo man looked with menace at Picasso and pointed to the painting.
'Did you do this?' he asked. Picasso looked at the Nazi and said, 'No, you did.'
