Last Chance

“Picasso to Pollock: Modern Masterpieces From the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art” is both more and less than its title suggests. More artists are included in the 59-work exhibition than the mainline Modernists who traveled the established path from Pablo Picasso’s Cubism to Jackson Pollock’s drips via Surrealism’s psychological kinks. To be accurate, the five-gallery show would have to be retitled. But “Maurice B. Prendergast to Joseph Cornell” doesn’t have the same ring. “Picasso to Pollock” is a surprisingly intimate selection of paintings and sculptures.
