Picasso and Lump
Blog | by
Picasso’s relationship with his Dachshund named Lump was described as a “love affair” by his photographer friend, David Duncan. Originally Duncan’s dog, Lump accompanied Picasso’s house on April 19th, 1957 .
Picasso had many dogs but Lump was the only one he would hold and feed from his hands. The artist once described Lump as indefinable: “Lump, he’s not a dog, he’s not a little man, he’s somebody else.” The pup died just ten days before Picasso, on March 29th, 1973.
