THE INFLUENCE OF A MASTER PAINTER
Piecing
Together Pablo Picasso
Although
Pablo Picasso never set foot in America, the Spaniard
played a pivotal role in the development of American
art during the last century. Many of this country’s
most important artists viewed him as a central figure
in modern art. "Picasso and American Art,"
a new exhibit at the Whitney Museum of American Art,
examines his masterpieces and the works of nine artists
who were deeply inspired by Picasso's work: Arshile
Gorky, John Graham, Jasper Johns, David Smith, Max
Weber, Stuart Davis, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock
and Roy Lichtenstein. After its stay on the East
Coast, the exhibition will travel to the San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Walker
Center in Minneapolis. 
When: Through Jan. 28, 2007; Wednesday-Thursday 11 a.m.-
