This specific play is produced by a well-known playwright, Steve Martin. The play was originally written back in the year 1993, but has been put on by many different theatres across the world since then. The focus of this play is a spoof on how it would play out if there was somehow a meeting that occurred between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein, one of the greatest artist and greatest thinkers ever. They are arguably two of the most influential people of the 20th century, and definitely help mold our world into what it is today. I think the topics and main themes and ideas can all be tied together into a single category because they all relate.

For those attending the Chicago World’s Fair, it seemed like a marvel of engineering and technology. Although the World’s Fair did look beautifully engineered, it was really all just for show. The White City, as it’s been called, was not built to last. It only took 3 years to build, and months following the Fair, many of the buildings and displays were demolished or burnt down.

There are multiple hypotheses about why the portrait was created: some of them says that it is a self- portrait of the painter by noting that the eyes, nose- tip and mouth of Mona Lisa actually line up with a known self portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci. Other claims that the sitter and the painter had a special rapport. Thus, the sitter appeared to look at the viewer (actually the painter) straight in the eye with ease.
