Review ‘Genius’ Paints Picasso by the Numbers

"… the production’s tinselly soul.

For instance, it’s on the record that Picasso’s lovers
Dora Maar and Marie-Thérèse Walter had
a wrestling match in his studio while he was
painting 'Guernica.'  'Genius' includes that
scene, naturally, but adds its own detail:
The altercation helps Picasso overcome a creative block
and gleefully set to work on the gigantic painting.
It may be news to scholars that one of art’s
greatest testaments to the horror of war was
inspired, in part, by the excitement of being
fought over by a pair of jealous women."

each moment defies expectations,
but at no point do the surprises themselves
take center stage or detract from the [song’s]
other elements."

oversaw blockbuster exhibitions of Picasso,
Matisse and Cézanne and a transformative
expansion that doubled its exhibition space in the
1980s, died on Tuesday at his home in Manhattan.
He was 84."  — Richard Sandomir  [Link added.]

Emblematizing the Modern

The Cross of Descartes: coordinate axes

The Cross of Descartes 

Note that in applications, the vertical axis of the Cross of Descartes often symbolizes the timeless (money, temperature, etc.) while the horizontal axis often symbolizes time.

T.S. Eliot

“Men’s curiosity searches past and future
And clings to that dimension. But to apprehend
The point of intersection of the timeless
With time, is an occupation for the saint….”
