bombsaway 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 How do you "put your elbow" through a Picasso...It's pretty simple, actually. You take your elbow, lift it to a vertical level that of which the painting coincides, and proceed to hurtle it towards the painting. With enough force, it will penetrate the canvas, rupturing the painting.Does that help? Link to post Share on other sites
