How are we to reconcile the claim that Picasso was a genius with the counterclaim that he was a destructive and competitive person? Today we are at the threshold of an exciting new chapter in Picasso scholarship as a young generation of scholars challenges those still loyal to Picasso's well-cultivated "artist-hero" persona. Josephine Withers, Professor of Twentieth-Century Art and Women's Studies at the University of Maryland, guides us in judging both the revolutionary and the obsessive aspects of Picasso's art.
