...sculptures by the English artist Anthony Caro that opens this week is just such an event. The ponderous slipway has been checked and greased. Brochures prepare us for a new Cunarder, the latest in a steelworking tradition that goes back to such august four-funnelers as the M.V. Picasso. The chairman, Curator William Rubin, picks up the champagne bottle and takes aim. The grizzled chief engineer, Critic Clement Greenberg, puts down the disc grinder with which he had been stripping an American dreadnought, the U.S.S. David Smith; he wipes away one gruff tear of pride on an oily rag, then...
That kind of talk never fooled her fans, who included Picasso, Matisse and Hemingway ("I was always popular because I was earning all the money," she recalled). Baker's art had more to it than just nudity, of course. It was the way she seemed to pass her songs from person to person in the audience, and the way the slinky soprano voice wooed the ears as much as the lithe body invited the eyes. By 1927 she had received an estimated 40,000 love letters and 1,192 proposals of marriage, one from a rajah who offered...
...DESIGN of Cocteau's plays has been compared to the sparing, classic style of the profiles drawn by Picasso. The words he uses are simple and conversational, there are no elusive metaphors or philosophical musings in his script.

But your attention focuses unexpectedly on these everyday objects and conversations as they gradually take on a bizarre importance: the plot hardly adds to the intrigue. Certain words and objects make the play, the way a one-dimensional black line lends form to Picasso's etchings, without the help...
Rubens was not an esoteric artist. The world did not veil itself from him in ambiguities. Perhaps no other painter since Titian displayed such an assured possession of his own experience, and beside it, even Picasso's notable lebenslust seems rather cramped. In a sense, Rubens was to the 17th century in Europe (he died in 1640) what Picasso was to the first half of the 20th. But Rubens' influence then went on, which Picasso's shows no sign of doing, for another 200 years. First there were his ex-students, Anthony Van Dyck and Jacob Jordaens...
...appreciation to create an art program that would give the public a well-needed moral lift. It was the committee's decision to select the world's most famous paintings from the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries - the best paintings of Matisse, Van Gogh, Gainsborough, Picasso, Gauguin, Titian, etc., and to reproduce them in full color as perfectly as humanly possible and make them available to the public at a price within the reach of nearly everyone...
