Pablo's Eyes

He painted eyes.

Yes, there were other parts, but that was what she saw. The eyes suggested such an intensity and connection that one had to wonder about each and every subject. Had he known them? What past had existed?

These eyes suggested inner torment, longing, the awareness of genius combined with the knowledge that it would be fully recognized by few. These eyes pled with the artist, "See me."

She felt that there had to be some intimate connection to capture a soul so accurately. Pablo's eyes seemed to beg the painter to express for them. Deep colors, exaggerated features balancing despite and because of each other, careful and strong strokes.

Was it possible for two men to have known each other so perfectly? How could he have known Picasso?
