Not sure about Picasso, but I remember reading somewhere that Tolstoy tried to be good for his wife, but she was too superficial and egoist, and manipulative. He tried to act generously, giving to the farmers a part of the result of their labor, but she refused. Then he wanted to at least control his own writings and give for free the books he wrote, but to that she disagreed too. I found where I had this information: Henri Guillemin yalked about Tolstoy. Ok, he's a leftist too.
