Pablo Picasso With Gifts From Gary Cooper In 1958

Picasso holding a revolver and a hat is one of the coolest photo ever. The artist relished the opportunity to interact with people from various walks of life and entertain them. Among his circle of acquaintances were writers such as Gertrude Stein, Julio Gonzalez, and even Andre Salmon. Almost everyone on this list has spent time in Paris at some point in their lives. Other than that, Picasso had a close relationship with Gary Cooper! In the 1950s, they were so close that the artist invited the actor and his family to stay at his ceramics shrine in Vallauris, where he worked on his own ceramics.

A Leading Stoker Called Popeye Who Was On The HMS Rodney

The guy in the photo looks exactly like Popeye, the Sailor Man! It turns out that E.C. Segar got the inspiration for the cartoon character from a local man. However, this was not the same individual. A man from the HMS Rodney in 1940 is depicted in this photograph. The nickname “Popeye” was given to him by the Imperial War Museum. Don’t get too worked up, though. Let us remind you that the HMS Rodney was a British ship, while Segar grew up in Illinois.
