Hash of the Titans.

The 'Matisse Picasso' exhibition has now arrived at the United States Museum of Modern Art after packing in the crowds at Tate Modern in London, England and the Grand Palais in Paris, France. You can see that John Elderfield and Kirk Varnedoe, curators with the Museum of Modern Art, and the four other curators from England and France who collaborated on 'Matisse Picasso' were delighted with their vision of psychodrama among artistic giants. Six curators in search of two artists, a multinational curatorial entity that was in some sense pre-empted by the art historian Yve-Alain Bois, who organized 'Matisse and Picasso,' a show with a very similar theme that made a sour impression at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas in 1999.
