Hannah Gadsby's 'Pablo-matic' exhibit explores Picasso's legacy at Brooklyn Museum.
TL;DR
Comedian Hannah Gadsby's new exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, "It's Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby," aims to critique Picasso's misogyny and colonialist impulses by pairing his works with contemporary feminist art. However, the show's disregard for art history and its centering of Picasso as the only modernist worth critiquing undermines its revisionary mindset. While the exhibition brings some impressive works to the US, it fails to acknowledge the contributions of women artists who were previously written off as Picasso's "muses."
