David Douglas Duncan: Picasso & Lump

Benteli Publishers, Italy, 2006, ISBN: 3716514357 “As the story goes, in 1957 legendary photographer David Douglas Duncan visited his friend Picasso in Cannes at the Villa la Californie in his new Mercedes Gullwing SL 300 with his dog Lump. Lump decided to stay and David drove off alone, leaving Lump behind to join the Picasso family. This is a classic tale of a man and his dog–only the man was Picasso. The wonderful photos, almost from Lumps point of view, show what great companions they became–and of course, Picasso also painted him.  This is really a very special story!”
