<br/><br/> Patrick O'Brian was a near neighbor of Picasso's in the south of France for many years and knew him well.  His much admired biography gives full weight to the distinctly Mediterreanean origins of Picasso's character and art.  The man is full of contradictions:  hard and tender, mean and generous, affectionate and cold, private despite his relish of fame.
