“LUMP” (which means rascal in German) was the name of the DACHSHUND that came to live with PICASSO in 1957 at “Villa La Californie” his hillside mansion in Cannes. Lump also appears in 15 of the 44 paintings painted by Picasso from the “Meninas” series. After sharing the household for six years with Picasso’s other dog, a BOXER named “YAN”, Lump died in April 1973 just one week before the great artist himself. This story is captured in word’s and photo’s by DAVID DOUGLAS DUNCAN in his book PICASSO & LUMP: A DACHSHUND’S ODYSSEY. Hot dog it’s art.
