Pablo Picasso is famous for a great many things- his Blue Period, Cubism, being quite an ass hole with a mean infidelity streak, etc. His artistic legacy and impact are hard to overstate, the guy was the de facto leader of the 20th century art world and one of those rare artists that were as famous alive as they are dead.

Swimwear is powerful. Aside from the occasional overalls or jumpsuits it’s the only time most men wear only one item of clothing. Your style is honed into one singular garment.
