During the day, Tuesday through Saturday, Passim is a coffeeshop and gallery with a wide variety of lunch items under $3 and hand-made art works, folk albums, and cards from over 40 countries. Classical music and the clink of teacups on saucers punctuate the continuous hum of conversation. By night, when Passim is transformed into The Listening Room, rows of chairs are added between the tables, enabling the place to seat about...

Thus the Picasso from whom one can properly take ideas is the cubist who emerged after 1906. Kitaj, on the other hand, devotes a number of his drawings to making strange pasiches of immature Picasso, the artist of the blue period...
