Picasso Santa Claus, Blue Period
I tried looking for the Picasso Santa online. And no success. So, anyone know if the Santa poster Patrick was hanging in the Christmas scene was just a prop for the movie?
Merry Christmas to you too, Manny, Moe & Jack, and a happy little ole New Year!
It's a painting Patrick did. Notice it's taped to the wall with masking tape, and signed "Merry Christmas" or something similar at the bottom.
shareI figured it was a poster from a gift store [like a Peter Max from Spencer Gift]
shareJust rewatched this last night and the poster says(iirc), "Merry Christmas Aunt Mame" and is signed by "Patrick Picasso". Mame remarks that it's from his 'black and blue' period(referring to the fact that they've gone broke because of the Great Depression).
**edit**Also, I think this is in reference to the scene after Patrick first arrives where Mame tells him to write down all the words he's hearing at the party that he doesn't know. One of those words(also iirc) was 'cubism'.
It'll be like Luke Duke and the other guy.
Really?
Yeah.
NO!
>>and is signed by "Patrick Picasso"<< OK, I'm going to go against what my Mom says and put my eyes too close to my TV. I've never tried to make out the signature. But I've never been right in front of the screen
shareWell, it helps if you have a big screen, HD tv to watch this on(like I did). lol
It'll be like Luke Duke and the other guy.
Really?
Yeah.
NO!
It's a 42" HD TV with WiFi, but I still sit across the room to watch it. I'll need to pause it and get closer. It's not how many inches I have, it's how I use it

It's a nice, quick way to show that Patrick was loving and thoughtful, getting an education in art, and had a sense of humor, before Uncle Dwight and the Upsons almost ruined him.
