His Father Served: So the genius refused to follow the beaten track of traditional education and took his artistic career into his own hands. At first his father served as the example, but as soon as Picasso had reached 13, he had already caught up with him. There was a decisive moment in his life and in the relationship between father and son, which was summarised by Picasso with the laconic words: "So he handed me his paint and his brush and never painted again." Picasso had really only obeyed his father's instructions and finished off the feet of some pigeons. However, these had turned out so true to life that father handed his tools over to his son, thus recognising that young Pablo had become a mature artist.
