...Fauve-pointilist Matisse, shown with a Marquet similar in conception, exhibits the genius which would evolve to produce such a work as Reading Woman Against Black Background. Parallel to this, a particularly handsome analytical-cubist Braque foreshadows a flowering of the personality later to paint the small but outstanding Black Fish...
...Fright at the Station. What made the difference was a contract from famed cubist Art Dealer Henry Kahnweiler, who still today says of Sculptor Manolo: "I think he was greater than Maillol." Manolo discovered the charms of the small town of Céret near the Spanish border, and was soon surrounded by vacationing Montmartre friends, including Picasso, Georges Braque and Juan Gris. But though living in the midst of early cubist experiments-French critics called Céret "the Barbizon of cubism"-Manolo would have none of it, once snapped at Picasso, then at work on his cubist Accordionist...
Author Eliot, 38, is an art editor with deep roots and long training in his field. A child dauber, he was ten when he first became aware of others' paintings.

If a friend in need asks for help, Picasso can manufacture money simply by sketching a few lines on the back of a menu and adding his dramatic signature. His vintage works (Blue, Rose, and early Cubist periods) bring prices over $100,000; his latest oils fetch up to $35,000. Even the figures he absently kneads out of bread and leaves on restaurant tables are saved as potential collectors' items...
