He was a cheeky little dachshund by the name of Lump who moved into Picasso's home (and heart) without so much as an invitation. Now David Douglas Duncan, the celebrated war photographer who introduced his dog to the artist, has released intimate pictures of the great man and his treasured muse. He tells John Lichfield the story of a remarkable creative relationship between man and beast.

That book certainly sounds like a good Read! I will keep my eyes open for it!

I wish there were some pics of the site. I will settle for glancing at the book myself!

Thanks for sharing Courtney! :hearts:
