Summary of Picasso and Dora: A Memoir
James Lord arrived in Paris as a soldier during world War II. Intoxicated by the glamour of the city, he presented himself at Picasso's doorstep and, amazingly, was invited inside. Then he had the temerity to ask Picasso to draw his portrait. The master complied, and Lord became a part of Picasso's circle, where he met Picasso's mistress and inspiration for his greatest paintings, the formidable beautiful painter Dora Maar. "Picasso" and Dora tells of Lord's turbulent relationship with both Picasso and this legendarily mysterious woman. With a bold instinct for psychological truth he movingly chronicles their relationship, which had all the interests of a love affair.Artists, A-Z Books
