I strongly diasagrree with Michael Kimmelman's charcaterization of the Picasso exhibition at the Whitney Museum as

one of those dull affairs incubated in the world of academe: a walk-through textbook that goes to extraordinary lengths to state the obvious

What a horrible review by the chief art critic of the NYTimes ... Friday evening I went and enjoyed the exhibition very much ... I read the review after seeing the show ... there are so many paintings from faraway places that are shown for the first time in NY ... after the show at the Whitney, I went home and ate a simple supper of silky tofu with 2 Chinese fermented eggs, dressed with sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds ... the red wine was a south-east Australian 2004 Penfolds Koonunga Hill shiraz cabernet ... .

This exhibition is a must see for all New Yorkers ...
