This is a very famous quote from Picasso, but I think the writer from
mobylives heard a different anecdote than the one I heard: I don't think he 
said so to a nazi who actually saw the real painting in his studio. Picasso
is alleged to have handed "postcards" of Guernica to various persons out on 
the streets of Paris, including a nazi officer who asked him "did you do 
this." Needs checking though.
