They may well be the reason that Pissarro has not had a retrospective in the U.S. since 1981—which was also the first in many decades.

By the 1990s, with The Beatles having settled their differences, the time was right for mounting the retrospective “Anthology.”

In fact, when the painter mounted his own retrospective in Paris in 1932, he hung the works not according to chronology but jumbled together.

The first retrospective devoted to Reed traces his life and work from his days as a graphic designer in the 1950s onward, outlining a pioneering, eight-decade career that ranged across mediums and movements.

The ending, impeded by a retrospective coda, diminishes the full cathartic impact.
