Indeed, Picasso's ramshackle tenement had no gas or electricity and only one water tap and a rudimentary toilet. But the studio was an often riotous gathering place for "la bande a Picasso," a self-dubbed group of poets--including Guillaume Apollinaire and Max Jacob--attracted to the Spanish artist's creative orbit. Picasso showed these friends his paintings. One--a large work that absorbed him for six months--elicited only embarrassed silence...
