Pablo Picasso With Gifts From Gary Cooper In 1958
Is there anything cooler than this photo of Pablo Picasso with his revolver and hat? The artist enjoyed entertaining visitors and making friends with people from various walks of life. Gertrude Stein, Julio Gonzalez, and Andre Salmon were among his friends. All of these people lived in Paris at one point or another. Apart from them, Picasso had a friendship with Gary Cooper! They were so close in the 1950s that the artist hosted the actor and his family at his own ceramics shrine in Vallauris.

A Leading Stoker Called Popeye Who Was On The HMS Rodney
Popeye, the Sailor Man, looks exactly like the guy in the photo! E.C. Segar got the idea for the cartoon character from a man in his hometown, it turns out. This was not, however, the same man. The photograph depicts a man who served aboard the HMS Rodney in 1940. The odd thing was that the Imperial War Museum gave him the nickname “Popeye.” However, don’t get too excited. Let us remind you that the HMS Rodney was a British ship, while Segar was born and raised in Illinois.
