...drawing stands out from this group, Head of a Woman, painted in Horta de Ebro of Picasso's lover Fernande. The drawing of crayon and guache shows a discernable change from Mill at Horta, painted in the same summer, as Picasso's style evolves into an increasingly geometrical and manipulative analysis of form. In the catalog, Tinterow explains the formal changes in Picasso's art during this intensely prolific summer. Another especially rich period well-represented is that of the early 1930s. The Studio of 1933 is an intriguing work that Tinterow says is related to Picasso's cubist works...

...Museum surrounds this outstanding work with many of Picasso's graphics and watercolors. Especially beautiful is the 1918 pencil drawing, Bathers, which displays the sure control of sinuous line that characterized his so-called "Neo-Classical" period. Also of great interest is his View of Horta De Ebro, a small, lyric landscape done in 1900. The more than twenty pieces in this exhibit demonstrate the completeness and general high standards of the Fogg's acquisitions. For a university museum, one could hardly imagine a better record of connoisseurship...

...LONG SHIPS, by Frans G. Bengtsson (503 pp.; Knopf; $4.50) offers lusty Vikings lusting and looting, bedding and battling across Europe from the Ebro to the Dneiper. The slaughter seems remote and good-humored as Christianity comes to the heathens of the north...
