Blockbuster Exhibition
Mike Hale in The New York Times online today —
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."

"Check out the … unexpected major chord
in the chorus of 'Time of the Season;'
each moment defies expectations,
but at no point do the surprises themselves
take center stage or detract from the [song’s]
other elements."
