Ten Foot Pole

Here's a shot of famed artist Henri Matisse, working on one of his drawings in 1949.

I wouldn't touch that drawing with a ten foot pole! Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here all week. Try the veal.

By the way, this is a real pic. Matisse was known for his bold use of line, which he said he could only accomplish by fixing a piece of charcoal to the end of a nine foot bamboo rod. Which produced results about like you'd expect.
