5 Facts You Didn't Know About Pablo Picasso (Part 2)
Picasso was extremely superstitious. It was a part of his character that he carried with him since his youth, growing up in Andalusia. The artist felt, for example, that one's hair possessed something magical. And that, given into the wrong hands, even discarded hair could bring harm to the person who's head it came from. As a result, Picasso always dreaded getting his hair cut. According to a memoir written by his former lover, Françoise Gilot, entitled Life with Picasso, only after he fully trusted a barber would he allow that person to cut, and properly dispose of, his hair.
