Picasso's interesting but little-known story

One day, a painter sold him an oil painting by Picasso. Because he knew Picasso very well, he took the painting to Picasso for identification. I didn't expect Picasso to say angrily, "Fake". The painter who sold him this painting said to him the next day, "I can assure you that this painting was really painted by Picasso." ?

The painter became suspicious, but showed Picasso a painting painted by Picasso himself in his collection and asked him to identify the authenticity. Unexpectedly, Picasso said bluntly: "False."

This is too much. He protested, "I saw you draw this picture with my own eyes!" " "

Picasso shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, I sometimes paint fake pictures myself."
