...Sapone contributions to Picasso's wardrobe include a white silk suit, which the artist wears to bull fights, and a brown velvet smock with a collar so high and broad that the tailor told Picasso: "Your head emerges from the collar like a flower from a pot." In return, Picasso has given him about 50 paintings and sketches - including a powerful War and Peace pastel contrasting dancing nymphs with a hideous fire-belching monster. According to a Riviera dealer, the work, which Picasso gave in payment for a pair of trousers, would now fetch...
