Jerry Saltz Zitate

It took the Metropolitan Museum of Art nearly 50 years to wake up to Pablo Picasso. It didn't own one of his paintings until 1946, when Gertrude Stein bequeathed that indomitable quasi-Cubistic picture of herself - a portrait of the writer as a sumo Buddha - to the Met, principally because she disliked the Museum of Modern Art.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Es dauerte fast 50 Jahre, bis das Metropolitan Museum of Art in Pablo Picasso aufwachte. Eines seiner Bilder besaß es nicht, bis Gertrude Stein 1949 dieses unbezähmbare quasikubistische Bild von ihr selbst - ein Porträt des Schriftstellers als Sumo-Buddha - der Met hinterließ, hauptsächlich weil sie das Museum of Modern Art nicht mochte.

Nobody worked harder than Mozart. By the time he was twenty-eight years old, his hands were deformed because of all the hours he had spent practicing, performing, and gripping a quill pen to compose. That's the missing element in the popular portrait of Mozart.
