Later comes the great body of his work-angular, spiked, abstract constructions done in the early '30s, when, in collaboration with his friend Picasso, he found freedom of form and began his explorations of the play of shadow and light and the machine-age art of "drawing in the air'' with brushes of iron.

As the editors of Comment suggest, it is just "glib" to scream at the press for the ills of society...
...portraits of Dora and Picasso's daughter Maia. But one da>' he finished an anguished woman who looked as if she were racked by some grisly disease. As World War II descended on Europe.
