...began to uncouple his pictures from any sources in the visible world. In Blue Mountain, which he began the following winter, he assigned the mountain an unearthly shade of indigo and turned the flanking trees into almost free-floating pools of pigment. With one eye on the crackling Fauvist pictures that Henri Matisse and André Derain had exhibited in Paris a few years earlier, he was on the way to letting form and color alone become the subject of his work...

...works not shown that might be displayed later (the exhibit will run well into the first couple of months of 1995) are two still-lifes of oranges by Picasso and the Fauvist Maurice de Vlaminck. If these works were placed side by side like the Picasso and Braque, each one would help enhance the other through their differing uses of color, texture and anthropomorphism...
