In her 2018 Netflix special "Nanette," Gadsby expressed "hate" for the Spanish master of Cubism and the creator of works like "Guernica" and "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon." But in "It's Pablo-matic: Picasso according to Hannah Gadsby" (June 2 through September 24) -- one of the many eagerly awaited shows under the aegis of France and Spain marking the 50th anniversary of his death -- the approach is more nuanced. Picasso (1881-1973) remains one of the most influential artists of the modern world, often hailed as a dynamic and creative genius. Читать дальше...

"Of course, the others have upgrades here too, but from our race here last year, I am... Читать дальше...
