Wynn paid $48-million for the 74-year-old painting. An aide says Wynn will keep it and pay to have it restored.

Randy and I have sit and looked at this picture for several minutes. We both came to one conclusion, Picasso was a weird pervert. He painted some really strange porn. We were just wondering what he was smoking when he painted this picture.
