The Wexner Center for the Arts will host the Lambert Family Lecture, After Picasso: A Conversation with Diana Widmaier Picasso and Jack Cowart.
As the nearly 150 works in After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists demonstrate, artists from around the world continue to wrestle with and take inspiration from Picasso's legacy. Few artists have engaged with Picasso quite so intensely as Roy Lichtenstein, the iconic pop artist and Ohio State alum, who made works revealing close study and analysis of Picasso’s oeuvre for almost five decades. For this year’s Lambert Lecture, Diana Widmaier Picasso, the artist’s granddaughter and cocurator of the major exhibition Picasso.mania—a major exhibition now on view at the Grand Palais in Paris also exploring Picasso’s pervasive influence—joins Jack Cowart, executive director of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, for a very special conversation exploring the interconnections between two titans of 20th-century art.
