"The myth of Picasso's membership in the French Resistance
has been bolstered by several much repeated anecdotes in the
American press. According to one such story, a group of
German officers on a search mission to Picasso's studio
discovered a postcard of Guernica. Upon their asking: 'Did
you do this?' Picasso is said to have answered, 'No, you
did.' In another tale Picasso's reply to an offer of coal to
heat his studio was: 'A Spaniard is never cold.' While the
wit is typical of Picasso, the stories are probably apocryphal."
