Chunqing Huang on Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" at MoMA
Painter Chunqing Huang first encountered Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" through reproductions, but saw the original in person last March during a trip to New York for a group exhibition she was participating in. Viewing the 2.30-meter-wide canvas at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was, she says, a goosebump moment. Huang acknowledges that Picasso had problematic traits, yet considers him exceptionally inventive as an artist. Her account appears in Monopol, which is currently running a subscription promotion: a one-month free trial of Monopol Plus, after which the subscription continues at €4.90 per month, cancellable at any time with seven days' notice before the end of the contract month via the "Mein Profil" section.
