i was home from college laying on the couch watchin the news back in 83 when a story about the death of miro came on. they showed his work and gave the bio etc etc etc. then at the end of the story the newscaster (peter jennings i think) told this anecdote about miro being interrupted by someone in his studio. miro apparently threw a can of paint at the intruder and shouted "i work alone!!!" my mother not missing a beat replied in her common sense down home manner- "Well, from his paintings, it looks like he could have used some help..."
