The Picasso Effect
This class will focus on the long shadow Picasso cast on the art of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Participants will consider the effect of his work and personality on futurism, surrealism, and other movements. They will also discuss his mythic status among many artists and intellectuals, and they will consider individuals who have challenged this legacy and forged alternative paths during the modern era.
