Klein replied that he had, produced the catalogue to prove it. Delighted, Picasso grabbed some colored crayons, whipped off a quick sketch on the catalogue's cover showing a faun with red eyes, blue nose and green beard, then signed it as a souvenir of the visit (see cut).

Finnegans Wake and a little sketch by the French writer Tardieu called Trio, which Sarah Lawrence presented, serve as examples of another, if minor, branch on the experimental tree--they depended for much of their effect on playing with words. The difficulties and advantages of Joyce's style are familiar enough; the Tardieu play exploited not the possibilities of puns, but of the musical ecects which can be extracted from the sound of words with scant regard paid to their meaning...
