The shiny red notebook has gone missing. Picasso's little book was purloined from the Paris Picasso Museum earlier this week. I think it was likely lifted and put directly into a pretty purse or slipped inside the breast pocket of a tweed jacket. Maybe. What a mystery!

I read that the sketches in this book were those from a time when he had been working with the Ballet Russes. Reading this fact instantly reminded me of the artist Leon Bakst who also worked for them. I fell in love with his designs and drawings while in college and since then couldn't recall his name. Mystery solved! Here are some of his transcendent works.

Thanks for looking! I greatly appreciate your comments and visits to OSH! paz, k
