Guess the painter : *
More famous with every brush stroke, he believed his own hype,
Self important "Don't you know who I am?" You know the type,
Grandios sense of self, young girls, their tiny hearts at stake,
Just because he was a good painter -not a good person does this make,
A pervert who preyed on girls he could manipulate, use and abuse,
Perhaps they made him feel younger, objectified as he'd only wanted a muse,
He wanted them young, nubile, docile, a perfect, painted bride,
It's no coincidence that several of 'his' women committed suicide
(*Picasso)
