When does genius reveal itself? In the case of 8 year old Picasso it obviously did very early. Those tiles in the „tasting room“ of the wonderful Bodega Tradicion in Jerez de la Frontera are not only proof of a child prodigy but more than that show a concept of directness that Picasso would eagerly follow all his life. We wouldn´t have wondered if he had done the same thing 50 years later.
