...creative flair is evident throughout, from the funky furniture (including a sofa inspired by Vladimir Tatlin's famous Monument to the Third International) to the themed rooms. Dedicated to Ayrton Senna, one room has a video of the Formula 1 champion above the bed. A new suite devoted to Picasso is scattered with ephemera from the master's Mougins studio...
...arts apparatchik couldn’t have been more admirable. Interactions between those who peg themselves as God’s messengers, and those more inclined to say with Diego Rivera that “I’ve never believed in God, but I believe in Picasso,” have historically been not-quite-ideal—to put it mildly.

...through his 20s and 30s, Gorky devoted himself to a complete, nearly self-annihilating immersion in the work of one master after another.

...abstract art could express the artist's purely internal realities. In 1915 she was a 28-year-old art teacher stuck at a small women's college in South Carolina. One year earlier, she had been living happily in New York City and getting her first eager taste of Picasso, Braque and American modernists like John Marin. Stranded in a place she called the "tail end of the world," she decided to go where none of those artists had ventured. Drawing on the liquid forms of Art Nouveau and her own churning inner life, she produced an astonishing series...
