Demetre Belgis, a Greek who arrived 17 years ago, is a success. In 1977 he opened a gallery in SoHo, where he sells from an impressive stock of Toulouse- Lautrec lithographs. Belgis has been persuaded by his experience that the land-of-opportunity platitudes are real. "Regardless of what country you come from," he says, "one still sees America and New York as dreamland, where you can be what you want to be.

But the picture has none of the social irony or even the sensuality with which Toulouse-Lautrec and Degas invested their brothel paintings. More vividly than ever, against the backdrop of earlier Picassos, it becomes clear why his friends thought he had gone crazy, why the painter André Derain actually predicted that Picasso would hang himself behind the big picture.
