But I&#039;m in favor of separating the work and the person. I found that by dedicating a portion of the show to its celebrity, the curators only reinforced my sense that they were less interested in what art is and can do than its pitfalls. Picasso&#039;s ego \u2013 like any artist&#039;s \u2013 rightfully resides in his work. This has to apply to all artists. Unfortunately, I fear, we find this to be true of his imitators and satirists as well.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The inspiration for a series of photographs by Martin Kippenberger was a photo of Picasso in his underwear, shown here on Kippenberger&#039;s show poster. In the exhibition (no images available) Kippenberger himself poses as Picasso, wearing similar shorts, at ease around an indescribable interior. Kippenberger&#039;s show, for better or worse, satirizes itself and its subject simultaneously. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">It would be easy to replace Picasso with a shirtless photo of Vladimir Putin or Whitey Bulger on a poster like this, in such a wide stance, positioned just above the viewer: The grandiose manly stance didn&#039;t start with Picasso. Only to the extent that such characteristics are inherent in Picasso&#039;s works should curators move this theme from the catalog to the gallery. It&#039;s a footnote, a strange one; pitiful or amusing, as you wish to understand it.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: right; text-align: right;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"228\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-WHjzKqlvD_E\/VieQkaCWn0I\/AAAAAAAAHVA\/F4e-xQcv8Vc\/s400\/Picasso%2Bin%2BPalestine%2Bby%2BKhaled%2BHourani%2Bphoto%2Bby%2BKhaled%2BJarar%2B.JPG\" width=\"400\"\/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;\">Khaled Hourani, <i>Picasso in Palestine, <\/i>2011.

In an exhibition with few surprises, Stezaker&#039;s work stands out, and certainly delivers the best didactic moment of the exhibition.
