If you love the modern masters—Picasso, Matisse, Mondrian, Pollock, Warhol—you’re going to want to get a boarding pass embossed with ATL, and you’re going to want get it pronto.
The High Museum of Art is hosting Picasso to Warhol through Aril 29. The 100-plus piece show is exclusively assembled for the High from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
We don’t use the term “blockbuster” loosely. This show is one of the largest, most comprehensively curated exhibitions of modern art ever to see the light of day in the Southwestern United States.
Too much hype here? You be the judge. Consider the players and their works:
- Henri Matisse’s Dance (I).
- Pablo Picasso’s Girl Before a Mirror, and Night Fishing at Antibes.
- Jasper John’s Map.
- Andy Warhol’s Self-Portrait.
- Constantin Brancusi’s Bird in Space, and
- Jackson Pollack’s Number 1A.
Pollock’s masterpiece pretty much sums up the consensus appraisal of this exhibition: 1A.
