The Writer's Almanac from Wednesday, October 25, 2017 “The Lower Chesapeake Bay” by Maxine Kumin from Where I Live. © W. W. Norton and Company, 2010. ORIGINAL TEXT AND AUDIO - 2017 It's the birthday of the artist Pablo Picasso, born in Malaga, Spain (1881), who was living in a bohemian community in Barcelona painting portraits of his friends and acquaintances when one of his paintings was selected for inclusion in the upcoming world's fair in Paris. He was just 18 — went off to Paris for the exhibition, saw paintings by Manet, Cézanne, Degas, and Toulouse-Lautrec, and came home determined to be an artist.
