No one would have missed the old nails and bits of cloth and string that he put into his pictures of guitars. Nor, one hopes, the single button that lent itself so perfectly as a sound hole for his Guitar of May 1926.

He surrounded himself with clutter, knowing that even the tatty, mundane items other people threw away could have artistic interest.

When his piles of papers grew too high for his table tops, he would clip them together with bulldog clips and suspend them, chandelier-like, from the ceiling.
