After-Lunch Program - Picasso's "An Homage to Gertrude Stein"

Sponsored by the UCLA Emeriti Association and the UCLA Retirees Association.

It has been called UCLA's "Secret Picasso." Since 1988, Library Special Collections in the Young Research Library has been home to a painting by Pablo Picasso made for his friend and patron Gertrude Stein. The painting is historically important because Picasso painted it at the dawn of Cubism. Following the talk, attendees will have the opportunity to see the original painting in the Research Library.

George Baker is Professor of Modern and Contemporary art, as well as the History of Photography, at UCLA. In addition, he is an editor of the journal OCTOBER, and a long-standing critic for Artforum and other magazines.

The UCLA Emeriti Association and the UCLA Retirees Association (UCLARA) are both all-volunteer organizations that advocate for UCLA's retired faculty/staff and plan programs for their members. Support their advocacy efforts by joining or renewing your membership. Membership forms will be available at the program.
