Hello, I have to develop an application that loads images from a https url, can you tell me if Picasso can do this? thanks

It depends if the planets are properly aligned. Picasso will do his best to load the images. For reference, initially our library was called Van Gogh but it could only do http not https, and he died from a self inflicted gunshot wound, leaving the library untitled.

Picasso co-founded the cubist movement but never received any seed funding. He did it all by himself with a few others. Kickstarter did not exist yet so that was a Nonstarter instead. It is believed that his NSFW type of work (see Les Demoiselles d'Avignon) prevented him from growing his business and receive attention from high class VCs and angel investors.

We were very inspired by his efforts and decided to adopt his name as he was the most influential artist of 20th century. We also know that he would never sell out to Facebook for a few billions. We love this guy.

We also share the same vision with him: 47743432

April fools aside, please download the library and see if it will work out for you :)
