Picasso prints on display at art museum By BURT WASSERMAN For 21st Century Media
t this time, the highly regarded creative drive of Pablo Picasso comes clearly into focus in a show of some 60 of his best-known graphic prints. They are on display in the Muriel and Philip Berman Gallery of the land-mark building of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, on Fairmount, at 26th St. and Ben Franklin Parkway in center city. The highly imaginative forms quiver with a rare degree of drama, mystery and emotional eloquence that only an incomparable genius could give to his language of vision. Without question, the total offering is a phenomenal gift of artistic brilliance for the inspired delectation of visitors to the exhibition. Titled “Picasso Prints: Myths, Minotaurs and Muses,” the show includes many compositions that deal with themes drawn from ancient art forms, historic mythology, and various time-honored literary sources. After achieving recognition as an artist during the early 20th century in France, Picasso had occasion to become profoundly awe-struck by artworks he discovered on
trips to the Louvre Museum in Paris. He also came to be very taken with various antiquities he saw on visits to the site of several historic ruins at Naples and Pompeii in Italy. Later, in excavations at the Palace of Knossus, from the civilization of ancient Crete, he became familiar with the lore of the Minotaur, the mythic bull who was the presumed inhabitant of a labyrinth located beneath the palace, and whom he adopted as an alter-ego figure in many of his graphic artworks. For example, intaglio prints from the Vollard Suite, included in the current show, present the minotaur as a creature who is half man and half beast, capable of heroic creativity, erotic vigor and violent cruelty. At the time he did these works, he was in the early prime of his life, had lived through the period of World War I, had been married and also been intimate with many lovers, fathered several children and was widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest creative artists. There are also etchings in the exhibition from two literary-illustration projects: Aristophane’s play Lysistrata and Ovid’s poetic masterpiece: Metamorphoses. The former dealt with the notion of women withholding sexual favor from
men in order to tempt them to withdraw from engaging in warfare. The latter is an epic poem in which the years from the creation of the world to the death of Julius Caeaser are treated in a series of recurring episodes involving love in various forms. Together, they demonstrate Picasso’s fascination with subjects taken from classical culture. The entire exhibition is scheduled to remain on public view at the museum, until Aug. 3, 2014. One of Picasso’s best known prints, the Minotauromachia, which means Minotaur Fight, is also on view. It depicts a strange and ambiguous setting in which a creature — half man and half animal — confronts a young girl holding a lit candle and a bouquet of flowers. The overall scene grabs your attention with magnetic intensity while you ponder its potential range of meanings and associations. Additional details in the surrealistically, eerie composition include a horse, a dead female matador, a bearded, semi-nude man on a ladder, two women framed by a dark window above the young girl and a pair of doves perched on the sill of the window. Overall, the mood is tragic Please see PICASSO on 16

Study focuses on making Fairmount Park more accessible By DIANE FISKE For 21st Century Media
Fairmount Park has been called Philadelphia’s Jewel. It serves seven million people a year for hundreds of activities from rowing on the Schuylkill to enjoying family picnics and bird watching. The original Fairmount Park occupied nearly 4,100 acres. Today, the Parks and Recreation Department divides the original park into East and West Fairmount parks. The Fairmount Park System consists of 63 parks, with 9,200 acres overseen by the Philadelphia Department of Parks and Recreation, successor to the Fairmount Park Commission. It is the largest landscaped urban park in the world. But according to Harris Steinberg, director of PennPraxix, the planning team of the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, access to the park from half the city is one of the main park problems. After a year of research and work interviewing city residents, it seems clear that there is little access to the Schuylkill River and park features and museums for residents of the east side of the city. Steinberg and his team presented the results of the study, called “Love Your Park,” to a packed auditorium in the Smith Memorial Playground in late May, laying out the results of the Penn Praxis study, which calls for ways to give access to residents
RendeRing of a plan to rehabilitate Fairmount Park. This is a rendering of a crossing that would be installed across Kelly Drive. Courtesy of the University of Pennsylvania School of Design of Frankford, Kensington, Brewrytown and all the eastern neighborhoods as well as making the banks of the chuylkill more accessible to everyone. He explained that “everyone” includes anyone trying to watch rowing events or simply trying to picnic on the riverbank of the Schuylkill as well as anyone who has to find parking and cross Kelly Drive to reach the river. Often this crossing can be a life-threatening event. The plan, Steinberg said, would call for a traffic and parking study as an early step of a multi-layered process. “The plan calls for the park to be clean first and then safe and user
friendly,” Steinberg said in a telephone conversation. Many long-range proposals were listed in the report. “Since the expressway will be redone, why not place it on stilts” Steinberg asked. He added, “A bridge could go over the Schuylkill and end up near the Please Touch Museum.” Most importantly, use of the park would not be interrupted by the highway. The central theme to the master plan was connection, Steinberg said. It provides east and west parks access from neighborhoods such as Parkside, Wynnefield Heights, Brewrytown and Strawberry Mansion, reconnecting
streams and rivers and larger bodies of water. This would reverse long-standing interruptions of waterways and trails. In addition, the master plan would convert an old Fairmount Park Scenic Trolley to bike/ hike use and connect the new Pump Track Belmont Plateau, Chamounix Mansion and other sites so that there would be “new opportunities for discovery of hidden relics within the park.” “The long-term items will in fact require more debate and, certainly, more money,” Steinberg said. “The short-term items need our attention now.” He advocated making the changes in easy steps. In their report,
Penn Praxis researchers say traffic lights along the heavily traveled Kelly and Martin Luther King drives would allow safe access to the river banks and the walking/ running/biking trails. The first step would be a traffic light at the base of the Grant statue on Kelly Drive to help people walk to the river bank to watch rowing events without risking their lives in oncoming traffic. The original Fairmount Park consisted of “South Park” or the South Garden immediately below the Fairmount Water Works extending to the Callowhill Street Bridge; East or “Old Park,” which encompassed the former estates of Lemon Hill
and Sedgeley; and West Park, the area that now includes the Philadelphia Zoo and the Centennial Exposition grounds. After the Civil War, work progressed on acquiring the West Park. In the 1870s, the Fairmount Park Commission took over industrial properties along the Wissahickon Creek, to protect the Schuylkill River, a source of water for city residents.

extra-ordinary gifts for creative invention and expression? In Woman with a Tambourine, Picasso simultaneously pays esthetic homage to both a goddess of the Muse, who inspires poets to the creation of their art, and a female of the human species who complement their opposite gender and motivate them to help bring deeply meaningful accomplishments to significant realization. It’s as if this figure has been soldered together from thin wire elements that will remain intact
by Burton Wasserman
for years to come. In its own remarkable way, the idea for the birth of the figure may well go back to roots buried in the style of cubist abstraction that Picasso helped bring into being, early in the 20th century. It is fascinating to see how the master’s talent constantly illuminated his career with unusual references to the past and the present, as together, they pointed toward the contemporary moment and the future. Finally, one observes how his ordering of the
graphic work in tones of black, white and gray, does not celebrate a wide spectrum of chromatic colors! However, within the scope defined by their own unique nature, they project a sense of color, completely true and meaningful — artistically — to their own special character. It’s not a skill many other artists could readily replicate.
