Picasso seemed to be able to get inflamed from a single gesture or an elusive sign. However, while Dali was expressing his admiration to Gala by means of depicting her eyes in all his pictures, his “colleague” Pablo Picasso also maintained his inspiration with the help of numerous love relationships.
