“Picasso at 90” — Henry Miller (1971 LIFE Magazine Profile)

“Picasso at 90” is an October, 1971 profile on the artist by Henry Miller, presented here via Google Books. In a felicitous cubist twist, the second page of the article (featuring the full portrait of Picasso and, on its back, the column of text) seems to have been cut (or ripped) and then repaired.
