  • Pichot also made many trips to France.

  • Together they had a restaurant near the Bateau Lavoir, called La maison rose.
  • Pichot left Paris after World War I but returned often to buy books, as he had turned into a bibliophile.

  • Toklas, Gertrude Stein describes Pichot as follows: ...Spanish painter Pichot, [...] was rather a wonderful creature, he was long and thin like one of those primitive Christs in Spanish churches and when he did a Spanish dance which he did later at the famous banquet to Rousseau, he was awe inspiringly religious.
