[spoiler title=’Click/Tap Here for Correct Response/Question’]Who is Pablo Picasso?[/spoiler]
The article in question appeared in the May 1910 edition of Architectural Record and was from a conversation between Picasso and American critic Gelett Burgess. Picasso’s women in the article were described as “ultramarine ogresses” and “monstrous, monolithic women, creatures like Alaskan totem poles, hacked out of solid, brutal colors, frightful, appalling!” The article is seen today as introducing French modern art to the United States, though it was seen as at least partly satirical.

Miscellany:
Neil upsall got credit for an incorrect answer which should hve been “What is the shot” not shot put which is the event and does not weigh aboutt as much as a bowling ball.
While you are correct in that the item is the shot and the event is the shot put, Jeopardy usually does not neg extraneous information which is still correct (Similar to the fact that they do not rule a song title incorrect if the contestant adds extra correct song lyrics surrounding the title; “Baby You Can Drive My Car” is considered correct, as an example).
I suspect that had he said “shot throw”, that would have been ruled incorrect.
