Picasso quote

I'm seeing, e.g., this 2022 CNN article [1], hedge this quote from Picasso saying In 1936, after visiting an exhibition of her paintings in Paris, Pablo Picasso is widely reported to have said: "I bow down before the artistic miracle of this brilliant Ukrainian.".

This 2022 Guardian article [2] provides a similar hedge: It's said that, when some of Prymachenko’s paintings were shown in Paris in 1937, her brilliance was hailed by Picasso, who said: "I bow down before the artistic miracle of this brilliant Ukrainian."

I was able to find a slight variation in the 1982 book Folk Art from the Ukraine (ed. Lesia Danchenko) After visiting an exhibition of her work in Paris Picasso exclaimed, "I bare my head before the wondrous art of this Ukrainian genius." but with no source for the quotation.

Given how easily fake quotations propagate I would like a source that proves an actual provenance for this quotation -- presumably he did not say this in English, for one, and it would be ideal if we could get a quotation which can trace its providence to at least within Picasso's lifetime.

In any event, a better source is needed than HerArt Podcast, and perhaps in the meantime an "allegedly" might be useful.

• Found this source, which seems more reliable, and quoted it in the article. KluskaSlaska (talk) 17:00, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
