Picasso & Lump: A Dachshund's Odyssey
Picasso & Lump: A Dachshund's Odyssey
David Douglas Duncan
Foreward by Paloma Picasso Thevenet
The little-known story of Pablo Picasso and his lovable dog Lump, who is immortalized in many of Picasso's acclaimed works of art.
When they arrived at Picasso's Villa La Californie one spring day, Lump decided that he had found his paradise on earth and that he would take up permanent residence with Picasso. Lump was soon immortalized in a Picasso portrait painted on a plate, but this was just the beginning. In a suite of 45 paintings reinterpreting Velsquezs masterpiece Las Meninas, Picasso replaced the impressive hound in the foreground with jaunty renderings of Lump. Fifteen of the paintings are reproduced here, bringing full circle the odyssey of a fortunate dachshund who found his way from reluctant road warrior to furry and elongated icon of modern art.
88 duotones and 19 four-color illustrations
