Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 6, 2023 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 6, 2023 Pablo Picasso died 50 years ago and there are a spate of articles and exhibitions re-visiting him. WaPo: How good, really, was Pablo Picasso? "The exemplary modern artist died 50 years ago this month, and we’re still trying to clean up his mess" NYTimes: Picasso: Love Him or Hate Him? "Fifty years after the artist’s death, a critic wrestles with her mixed feelings. " Here is an excerpt from "The Mystery of Picasso" (1956) where you get to see him sit in his underwear and create masterpieces in semi-real time... This 1911 article is the first mention of him I can find in the NYTimes. Notice that he is already "Picasso", no further background expected to be necessary.
