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.
___ Much changed in Picasso's life from 1911 to 1923. His artistic partnership with Braque ended with the onset of World War I in 1914. In the late 1910s he became invested in Serge Diaghilev, who commissioned from Igor Stravinsky The Firebird, Petrushka and The Rite of Spring. Scholars surmise that Woman in White is a portrait of Olga Stepanovna Khokhlova [http: /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_Khokhlova], one of the legendary premier ballerinas of Diaghilev's troupe. Picasso and Khokhlova married in 1918; she bore his only son, Paulo.
