"Duncan, who died in 2018, became a firm friend of the Spanish-born painter despite their difficulties in communicating. Picasso did not speak English and he would laugh at Duncan's grasp of Spanish.
But Duncan, who had covered the Korean war as a photojournalist, found himself allowed to come and go as he pleased at Picasso's various homes during a 17-year friendship."-the guardian.
