Pablo Picasso's Paintbrush

Origins
Pablo Picasso was a Spanish born artist and poet who is considered a founding father of the Cubist movement. He is most famous for his abstract portraits. Today original Picasso works are among the most valuable pieces of art in the world and can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Effects
When held, the user will begin to see the world in a Cubist style. Round shapes become sharper and edges disconnect until things become impossible to recognize. As the effect is taking place, waves of energy resembling paint flow from the brush up into the holders eyes, slowly eclipsing them with darkness. The longer it is left, the more severe the visual distortion and the longer the effects last. Should the eyes become fully darkened the effects become irreversible.

This artifact was likely the cause of Picasso's notoriously dark eyes and perhaps his moody temperament in his later life.
