Pablo Picasso: You are in the labyrinth of the Minotaur. You should know that the Minotaur consumes at least two maidens a day.

Faq

Why it called Surviving Picasso?

Because Francoise Gilot is the only woman Pablo Picasso became seriously involved with who didn't end up either suffering from mental illness or committing suicide. She's the only one who outlived the famous artist.
