The Triumph of Pan
PICASSO IN OCCUPIED PARIS
A visual presentation with artist Cliff Tisdell
How did Picasso, a known anti-fascist, not only survive but manage to produce art in Paris during the war? Why did he stay in France at great personal risk? Several of Picasso's fellow artists and intellectuals also remained in France. What were their circumstances? Cliff Tisdell will examine these questions and review Picasso's work from the war years. A graduate of Rutgers University, Tisdell studied at the Arts Student League, the School of Visual Arts, Parsons, and the NYU Media Center. His work has appeared in universities and galleries around the country.
