UNIV Presents Picasso And Lump

UNIV, known for their famed dachshund logo, brings us a little story about art legend Pablo Picasso and his trusty sidekick Lump. Lump the dachshund was Picasso’s greatest companion and always at his side. Lump was immortalized in a Picasso portrait painted on a plate, but this was just the beginning.

In a suite of 54 paintings reinterpreting Velsquez’s masterpiece Las Meninas, Picasso replaced a regal-looking hound in the foreground with a jaunty rendering of Lump. Lump was visible in many of Picasso’s paintings and work. This fortunate dachshund found his way from reluctant road warrior to immortal icon of modern art. The story is best told via photos and text in the book Picasso & Lump: A Dachshund’s Odyssey. For more dachshund fancy, have a look at the fabulous UNIV products.
