Charming book! It provides a glimpse into the day to day life of the artist at a very specific time of his life. If you have studied Picasso, you will enjoy a looking through this collection of photos.

I bought the book as a gift for my son's teacher who fosters daschunds and in the end I think that she enjoyed the book. It was a unique gift and a good mix of dogs and his famous owner. I had problems with the product, however. The first one I received was bound upside down. All of the pages in the book were bound that way. I sent it back explaining the issue and received the replacement which also was upside down. I imagine it was the whole lot that they had so I returned it as well and bought it at a bookstore in person. I paid more but I could see what I was getting.

I found this book to be a great tribute to Lump, the Dachshund. I learned more about Picasso's work (was never a fan) but was happy to learn more about him as a man, because of his obvious affection for Lump. Great photos.

If you are a sucker for dachshunds, this is a great book. It's a great book, even if you aren't a doxie lover. The stories and accompanying black and white photos of Lump,Picasso and his art are wonderful in themselves. Who knew Picasso had a red dachshund named Lump???
100 pictures of a man and his dog October 29, 2006

A delightful little book about a man, his dog and a reknown photographer.
Picasso is of course well known, so no more about him. Lump was a dachshund owned by the photographer who descided for reasons all his own that he was Picasso's dog and that he was to live at Picasso's house. Duncan is a reknowned photographer who normally specialized in combat photography but who proves here that his eye for a picture isn't restricted to the war zone.
The book is about a hundred pictures of Picasso and Lump, Picasso painting pictures of Lump, pictures painted by Picasso of Lunp. Both Lump and Picasso left us in 1973, the pictures are all that remain. Yet they tell a story all their own. Delightful, Warm, and a side of Picallo not seen before.
