There was a 1964 book with this title written by one of his mistresses Françoise Gilot. She said living with him (1940-1950) was like living with a national monument - she was not being kind in her assessment. It's a good book though; besides her description of the difficulties living with him, she describes in detail some of his methods and the workings of his art world. You might like to read it. The cover had a famous picture of her and Picasso on a beach with him holding a big umbrella. My picture reminded me of that picture, I think the woman who looks so self assured is maybe what made me think of the book. Amazon reviews Photograph by Robert Capa, Magnum Photos

I DO like their outfits, however...mostly.
