Did Picasso make an uncredited cameo?


SPOILER ALERT:

At the end of the film, we are led to believe that the man on the beach is the artist. There is no indication in the credits for this film, or on Picasso's page, that it was the artist himself. Does anyone know if it was him?

No, he did not. Producer Wes Herschensohn in his book "Resurrection in Cannes: The Making of The Picasso Summer" states that the final shot was filmed in Catalina, because it resembled the shores of Southern France. Mr. Herschensohn did the sand drawings and a local man named Duke Fishman played Picasso -- he bore a striking resemblance to Picasso. He was somewhat of an artist himself and briefly able to continue Herschensohn's sand drawings for the camera.
