Reframing Picasso and American Art

Thursday, Apr 26, 2007

6:30 p.m.

Participants

Roberta Bernstein, professor of art history, State University of New York, Albany
T. J. Clark, professor and George C. and Helen N. Pardee Chair, art history, UC Berkeley
Anne Wagner, professor of art history, UC Berkeley

This program features three distinct perspectives on Picasso and his impact on American art. Clark explores the artist’s terrific fecundity of the 1920s; Bernstein examines Jasper Johns’s artistic response to the Spaniard; and Wagner discusses David Smith’s reaction to Picasso through his innovative sculptures. A Guernica-related film program follows the discussion.
