In launching the Lydia Csato Gasman Archives for Picasso and Modernist Studies, we celebrate Lydia’s brilliant influential work, but also her capacity for communicating her passionate beliefs in the most creative and generous way. Scores of students and friends have been influenced by Lydia’s courageous mapping of the visual arts, as a writer and a painter, as an exploration of the most profound and ethical dimensions of human existence. We are deeply grateful to the artists who have given their works in support of the Archives and to all those friends who have contributed to its foundation. It is with great joy and anticipation that, with your help, we build upon Lydia’s prodigious legacy.
