...think I recognize the source of Jago's wrongheadedness of this matter. It originates from a very poor reading--if he has actually read it, and is not merely regurgitating received ideas--of the novel Les Mandarins. In this novel, there is a dispute between two characters: Henri and Dubreuilh.

The only men of Picasso's generation whose work still exerts pressure on modern painting are Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968).
