A catalogue better than the exhibition it illustrates
The exhibition "Picasso and American Art" was very much criticized because of its tendency to mixing everything that counts in modern American art (or rather, in New York art) and linking it somewhat arbitrarily to Picasso, which, in a way, is stating the obvious.
Now what remains of it is this beautiful book, very well documented and which shows us some works of rarely seen artists alongside others, much more famous ones. The text is lively and informative.
Picasso & American Art - great show, great catalog!
The exhibition was a great survey of the influence that Picasso (and cubist art in general) had on American painters in the early/mid 20th century. A wealth of good reproductions, reproducing many unseen masterpieces.
