Wilfrid Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 50th anniversary of his death so he’s ubiquitously present. The Fontainebleau show at MoMA is essential. At much more modest scale, the Met show about a commission to provide panels for a house in Brooklyn is also worth seeing (I had never heard of this commission which remained incomplete). The extant panels are lovely (Cubist period). Getting smaller, there’s a side room of delicate drawings and calligraphy focused on a 16th century Spanish lyric poet, Gongora, at the Hispanic Society Museum. Take in their good permanent collection at the same time (all free). And last day Saturday, shows at two branches of Almine Rech, “Echo of Picasso,” showing his influence on contemporary artists. The uptown branch has some Picasso’s too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Indeed... Picasso 1906 -- The Turning Point - basically focused on one year of Picasso's life (when he was 25), an in depth look at what influenced him, and his influence on modern art. Astounding stuff. (Madrid). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Oh yes, the massive Picasso-Miro show at Fundacio Miro in Barcelona. The show was apparently joint with the Museu Picasso, but that is always a bit of a tourist zoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchW Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) I'd rather hear from Pablo himself. 9 hours ago, Wilfrid said: Sure, but we both know what she is saying. I think it's "they."

Looking at the catalog for the above led me to search for Gongora on the NY Society Library website. I discovered to my surprise that they have a copy of Picasso’s illustrated Gongora. It does not circulate but I will go and take a look. He illustrated 20 sonnets, but not all the illustrations were in the exhibit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
