...this awkward time she has been quiet, with a dull gaze that harbors reproach, for him or herself or both. At one point she touches her dark shirt to brush off something we can't quite see - is it her chagrin, her defeat, the evidence of her lover's passion? Then, Jean plays the gentleman and makes a fatal mistake. He says, "I forgive you." And she explodes in a derisive giggle. Even more than the insult, he senses the threat. "Then this letter is not the worst of it?" he asks, and she replies, like a death sentence...

They were to see each other only once more, at a friend's house in 1954. Picasso had almost 20 years of work left in him; Maar, by then a recluse, survived him by 24 years. When Baldassari was invited to catalogue the contents...
...synthesis of Hector’s quotes and Irwin’s awakening of historical passion meet with a third teacher, Mrs. Lindtott, masterfully portrayed by Frances de la Tour. Although she represents the epitome of the classic way, the only woman in the cast successfully develops both the wittiest humor and a profound emotional entanglement with the audience...
