There was a time not too long ago when Pablo Picasso, 84, was known as something of a terror with women. Now he sounds somewhat terrified himself. In the past, he told an old photographer friend in an interview for Paris' Figaro Litteraire, "the model was nude, without defense. We could paint her, draw her or do anything else with her. But today there exists a new race of women, and you don't know what to make of them."

...early pieces--like the dollar bills--are made with a rubber stamp, but more re- cently he has begun to reproduce his paintings with silk screen. For Warhol, the silk screen process provides an ideal method of mass production because the artist remains almost entirely uninvolved. He selects a photograph, and his associates fabricate silk screens from the photo and press paint through the screens to produce a batch of Warhol "originals" in a multitude of sizes and colors.

We made the reflected light with a big sheet: a large 20 by 20 sheet...
Well, I went sick one day -- it was the only day I went sick on a picture -- so I told the assistant and Burks, the cameraman, "There's something you can do to fill in time. Take these drawings of Saul Bass and photograph them." I saw them on the screen exactly as he laid them out, and I said, "We can't use them. None of this can be used. All these things are sinister stealth. He's not a sinister man; this is an innocent man." So we threw the whole lot out, and I took a simple...
