Although he has been exhibited around the world, he is a celebrity who paints rather than a celebrated painter. I'll post another picture soon.

pren, is he an actor? I will be curious to see who this is...I have a few ideas. I don't want to guess; I might be correct and have to find another painting and I am going out today. I will check back later on to see who it was.

Pablo Picasso
Portrait of the Artist's Mother
I initially thought it was Gauguin, as it has many elements of Gauguin's style... but Picasso was profoundly impacted by Gauguin early in his career. Gauguin's mother on the other hand, was imminently more attractive... at least she is so in the eye of the artist:
