As far as art exhibitions go, the most profound are rooted in a simple idea. Picasso Black and Whiteat the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston fits that bill.
___ Houstonians are familiar with Picasso's whimsical Woman with Outstretched Arms, a major holding of MFAH's permanent collection. Picasso was 80 years old when he collaborated with a man who owned a scrap metal shop and offered to shape iron to Picasso's specifications. Picasso would take the raw material and fashion tongue-in-cheek sculptures like this woman, who appears prepared to welcome viewers with a warm embrace.
