...robes, kilts, jackets embroidered in the Yugoslav manner. I assure you, he wears them with majesty." But all desire to be public, to act in front of the camera, is gone. The group of friends and colleagues has dwindled, for Picasso has outlived them. Matisse, Braque, Gris, Léger, Cocteau, Diaghilev, Gide, Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Eluard, Breton, Sabartès, Gertrude Stein-almost all the friends and legendary figures who made the "heroic" years of the French avant-garde and constituted the tribunal against which Picasso could measure himself-are dead. "When I see you," he recently told...

Born into a rich and landed Hungarian family, De Hory cruised Europe's capitals as a playboy artist during the '20s and '30s. He studied with Fernand Léger in Paris and brushed elbow patches with artists whose works he was to fake in years to come. Life was an amusement that ended abruptly with World War II. Totally apolitical, Elmyr was nevertheless shipped off to a Transylvanian concentration camp. "I was," he says with Magyar flair, "obviously too colorful a person for the safety of the state." He survived the Carpathian winter by painting...
...occasionally he indulged in a bit of mountain climbing. About the only excess that some Müncheners objected to in Defregger was the fondness he bore for his former military connections. He celebrated Mass for the annual reunions of his old army outfit, the 114th Jäger (Sharpshooter) division, and regaled them with rousing, nostalgic sermons. "What the dust of the Russian steppes, the fields of the Caucasus, what the bursting of the grenades have wrought," he once told them proudly, "will withstand the pragmatic materialism of our time."

Gathered penniless in New York in the politically volatile 1930s, artists boned up like magpies on a dozen different artistic idioms, haunting museums and devouring books when not studying at the Art Students League. Arshile Gorky, the Armenian refugee, was initially a devotee of Ingres, Léger, Matisse, Cézanne and Kandinsky. Robert Motherwell drew much of his inspiration from Matisse. De Kooning, the Dutch immigrant, was closer to Cubism and de Stijl; Pollock, the shy Westerner, studied under Thomas Hart Benton, and was influenced by Mexico's David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco. They...
