...exhibit also provides a deftly culture-bound experience. Lichtenstein is nothing if not erudite, and to see him parodying established modern masterpieces (Matisse's Red Studio, or the cubist work of Picasso and Juan Gris, or Carlo Carra's Red Horseman) is to see a very informed mind at work, particularly at obscure levels of parody. How, for instance, does one render the odd ambiguities and shifts of cubist or futurist painting in terms of this rigidly determinate dot-and-line style? Of course, it is not paintings but reproductions that Lichtenstein parodies; reproduction itself reduces...
Good thing: half a mile offshore MacCready spotted a sinister shape that he took to be a large shark. By the last quarter-mile, Allen said, "my legs started to get useless."

Indeed the first two rooms of paintings strongly echo Picasso, Gris and Leger. Davis, as the chronology points out, was heavily involved in artists organizations, especially during the Depression, and campaigned for recognition of the political and social importance of art and artists. After the Depression, Davis developed some of his most important theories and settled into a style using brilliant colors, well-defined shapes...
