...Picasso's icons, and bits of it recur constantly in Picasso's work - in the 1906 The Harem, 1918's The Bathers, in jokey etchings of 1968-71.

He settled in Toledo and for the rest of his life worked for the religious establishment and the local intellectual élite. Soon after...
...heavy marketing and hype to lure ever larger numbers of Americans. And commercialization has results besides elevated attendance—how many more over-promoted, “once-in-a-lifetime” art exhibits can there be before museums resort to “Michelangelo vs. Raphael: The Final Smackdown” to boost interest...
