...quarter of the drawings in the Fogg have never been exhibited before anywhere, and one third of them have never been shown in the United States. The works' novelty and secluded history have attracted many 20th-century art scholars and critics not only for the show, but also for a symposium the Saturday after the exhibit...
...exhibition is not competing with any other Picasso show, such as the Museum of Modern Art's definitive exhibition last year. The only thing the two shows have in common, other than a few pieces, is the crowd they will attract. At the Fogg, as in New York, hordes of interested people will shuffle through the galleries to look at the art, even though many of them don't like Picasso, and though many will be confused by what they...
TINTEROW intends the exhibition to be a comprehensive yet selective representation of Picasso's best works, concentrating on his transitional and revolutionary phases: 1906-7, 1914, 1919, 1933, and his final years. But the Fogg puts these into context with works ranging from Picasso's earliest studies (drawn at age 13) to his self-portrait executed just months before his death...

Tinterow has successfully pared down Picasso's works on paper to a tight package, interesting to the giants of the art world, and intriguing to those who bring little previous knowledge of art to the Fogg.

Their plan: to travel eastward around the world-south of Iran and the U.S.S.R. (hostile airspace), south of the Himalayas (deadly to balloons), over the Pacific and North America to an eastern Mediterranean landing spot-in less than ten days. To complete the high-speed journey, the eleven...
