Although Picasso's Uhde seems to be a frontel bust, the lapels of his jacket flip through spatial planes in the Cubist tradition of dislocating space. The head too assumes a multitude of positions, as if the artist is superimposing several perspectives on one surface, a photographic technique in oil, providing an insight into the more complex facets of this particular character...
...never wished to Americanize his surname-clearly of Sicilian origin-but also one who on various occasions has displayed his regret that he has never been accorded a public homage in Italy."

J.'s choice is excruciatingly simple: blow the whistle on the junkie, who will have him killed, or spend the rest of his sorry life in jail for trafficking in heroin...
