George Condo (b. 1957)

‘If you look at a Picasso, and if you look at one of my Picasso-esque paintings, it is interesting how radically different they are. None of them are directly referential, none of them are about taking Picasso and doing a variation on it. In a strange way they are strictly memory. They are all about Picasso’s presence in my thoughts. And his presence in my work, at that particular time.’
–George Condo
