“Kindred Spirits: Mailer and Picasso.” Article-interview by Pete Hamill. Art News, November, 208–213. Mailer talks about his relationship with the painters of Provincetown and Greenwich Village in this long, easy, Provincetown conversation with Hamill, an old friend, who wrote about Mailer’s influence on him in his memoir, A Drinking Life (Boston: Little, Brown, 1994). After Picasso, Hans Hoffman and Andy Warhol are the two artists Mailer says the most about.
