He did, until Françise Gilot, 43, his mistress from 1944 to 1954, mother of two of his children, and author of Life with Picasso, told how he kept a goat in the house, blew his stack because she borrowed a pair of his trousers when she outgrew her own clothes during pregnancy, and boasted that "no woman...
