Picasso & Lump: A Dachshund's Odyssey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Picasso & Lump: A Dachshund's Odyssey (ISBN 0821258109) is a book by David Douglas Duncan that features professional photographs of Pablo Picasso and his dachshund, Lump. The book, published in 2006 by Thames & Hudson Ltd, gives an insight into Piccasso's later life, and Piccasso - the man, not the image. The book contrasts black and white photos of Picasso, his wife Jacqueline and Lump with Picasso's colourful interpretations of Las Meninas (that happen to feature Lump). "Picasso & Lump: A Dachshund's Odyssey" is a coffee-table book that brings to light the story of a lucky dog who became a loved pet and an icon of modern art.
The book is alternatively known as, "Lump: The Dog Who Ate a Picasso".
