Here are sketches made in 1907 for his Les Demoiselles d'Avignon of that year, the harsh painting set in a brothel and inspired by African masks. "He was a leading figure throughout the period," says Dumas, an inventive mind who had an impact on many of the multifarious movements.

And don't forget the German Bundesliga, home of Bixente Lizarazu and Youri Djorkaeff. Les Bleus, as the French national team is commonly known, are scattered across Europe's best leagues. Keeping the first-XI regulars company in foreign lands are a phalanx of up-and-comers that, by common consent among the game's pundits, represent the most powerful force in modern football...
...Other European leagues aren't as keen as England on French coaches, but the Gallic touch is finding takers farther afield. Claude Le Roy, who coached Cameroon's 1998 World Cup side, has signed on at Shanghai's Cosco, while Manuel Amoros, who collected 82 caps with les Bleus, has taken the helm at the Tunisian club Sfax.
