...with Picasso cups and saucers. Though it would be unfair to fault the curators for the exclusion of this painting, which would clearly have overshadowed all of the others in the show, one can't help feeling a sense of frustration upon leaving the exhibition's final gallery. We crave follow-through or some kind of resolution after bearing with so much of Picasso's self-searching work...

Just as a surfeit of food and a dearth of exercise have conspired to turn heart disease and diabetes into major health problems, so the easy availability of addictive chemicals has played a devious trick. Addicts do not crave heroin or cocaine or alcohol or nicotine per se but want the rush of dopamine that these drugs produce...
