The Breton Sailor’s shirt, used at first to spot shipmen who had fallen overboard, was later adopted by Pablo Picasso as part of his trademark look. Even those who hate Picasso praise his undeniably charming inventiveness, not only in his craft, but in the way he presented himself; he did away with the grimy and tired artist’s smock by finding a shirt that worked as well on the street and on the beach as it did in the studio. With the simple stripes on his sailor’s shirt Picasso made being an artist in the 20th century stylish and laidback.
