...don’t want to grow up / I don’t want to stay young” over a maddeningly meandering synth flute. “Blue Period Picasso” is narrated from, unsurprisingly, the point-of-view of a Blue period Picasso painting. It is as bad as it sounds. Case in point: “But I’m not just being blue… It’s just a part of what I am / It’s just a part of my beating heart.” It turns out that...
Necessary Huffness All the residents of Huffington's large romantic stone house in Brentwood, Calif., are female: Huffington, her sister Agapi and her two daughters Christina, 19, and Isabella, 17. The walls of the living room are adorned with paintings by Françoise Gilot, one of Picasso's lovers, and Kimberly Brooks, the wife of actor Albert Brooks.

If that seems too overwhelming, there are smaller venues, like Volta, an invitation-only showcase for galleries like Swiss dealer Haas & Fischer, with sculpture including Joshua Callaghan's "The 100 Year Anniversary Commemorative Model-T Ford," and London's Rokeby Gallery, with video artist...
Almost everybody learned from Czanne. Braque pored over the great still lifes--all those apples and bunched tablecloths--and took from them ideas about distorted forms and tilted planes that he and Picasso would carry into the profound thickets of Cubism. The serene heft of Czanne's many views of Mont Sainte-Victoire inform the muscular Maine landscapes of the American painter Marsden Hartley. The enduring reach of Czanne can even be felt in Ellsworth Kelly's Lake II, a color-field wall panel from 2002 that distills and abstracts the visual experience of water, just...
