［難忘的畢卡索作品］
今年四月在倫敦時，參觀了國家美術館。看到一幅畢卡索年輕時候的人物畫像，那是他早期的畫作，躋身於幾位大師之間。那麼年輕的畫家，已經顯露他的藝術天分。畫中人物是法國詩人梵樂希的兼差秘書，酷嗜喝酒，無論是描述神情，或是顏料上色，可以看出年輕畫家的膽識。這幅畫羅列在幾個大師之間，卻特別引人矚目。對於藝術，我比較相信天分。但是，我更相信畢生的磨練。

"畫中人物是法國詩人梵樂希的兼差秘書"，這是錯誤的
根據國家畫廊的說明
He occasionally acted as private secretary to the poet Paul Verlaine, who dedicated a sonnet to his friend. Picasso probably met the ragged dandy in the brasseries and seedy bars they both haunted, and would have been fascinated by his elderly, grimacing features.
他偶爾擔任詩人Paul Verlaine的私人秘書，他為他的朋友獻上了一首十四行詩。 畢加索可能遇到了他們都困擾的小酒館和骯髒的酒吧里的衣衫襤褸的花花公子，並且會被他的老人，令人沮喪的特徵迷住。
Paul-Marie Verlaine (/vɛərˈlɛn/;[1] French: [vɛʁlɛn]; 30 March 1844 – 8 January 1896) was a French poet associated with the Decadent movement.
保爾·魏爾倫（Paul Verlaine，1844年3月30日－1896年1月8日），法國象徵派詩人。

This arresting portrait of Bibi la Purée, a famous reprobate in turn-of-the century Paris, was painted by the 20-year-old Picasso when he returned to Paris in 1901

There are shades of Lautrec’s Bohemian underworld too in Picasso’s charismatic portrait of ‘Bibi-la-Puree’, a former actor, one-time secretary to Verlaine and inveterate absinthe-drinker (etre dans la puree apparently meaning to be in dire straits).
