Reviews and appraisals of Rick Kuhn’s Henryk Grossman and the recovery of Marxism (Rick Kuhn’s site; online at Internet Archive)

Forgotten treasure: a new biography of Grossman. By Chris Harman (International Socialism, Issue 114, Spring 2007). “Kuhn’s biography includes a fascinating account of the debates the theory produced. But there is much more to it than just that. For Grossman was a committed revolutionary activist in one of the most tempestuous parts of Europe long before he became known as a Marxist economist.”

An introduction to Henryk Grossman. By Louis Proyect (March 21, 2008). “Rick Kuhn has been devoted to re-establishing Grossman’s reputation since 1993. His preface gives reasons why.”

Why Grossman still matters. By James Heartfield (Spiked, Issue 3, July 2007). “A brilliant biography of Polish economist Henryk Grossman shows us the man – with silk white gloves and cane – behind the Marxist analysis.”

Henryk Grossman: Capitalist expansion and imperialism (International Socialist Review, Issue 56, November–December 2007). “Rick Kuhn looks at the work of a Polish Marxist.”

Musical introduction to Picasso (YouTube, 5:28)

Articles in English:

Pablo Picasso was a Communist. Why don’t we ever talk about this? By Liza Featherstone (Jacobin, June 5, 2023). “In the imbroglio over Picasso’s misogyny and many personal flaws, the memory of his unabashed leftist politics has been lost — and with it our ability to fully consider his place in history.”

Picasso’s sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. By Clare Hurley (World Socialist Web Site, 18 January 2016). “Unfortunately, the Museum of Modern Art’s current exhibit of Picasso’s sculpture—the first major US museum survey in the last 50 years—fails to communicate anything particularly significant about the legendary artist’s interpretation of the social reality and times through which he lived.”

Pablo Picasso at the Art Gallery of Ontario: An artist apart. By Lee Parsons
(World Socialist Web Site, 6 June 2012). “Notwithstanding the veneration he still tends to inspire, questions remain about his legacy and the evolution of modern art in general. There is also the matter of Picasso’s political role, often passed over in silence or treated uncritically.”

Picasso: art that was part of the fight for peace (Socialist Worker, Issue 2203, 29 May 2010). “Mike Gonzalez finds a yearning for peace and justice at the heart of Pablo Picasso’s work on display at the Tate Liverpool.”

A revolution in paint: 100 years of Picasso’s Demoiselles. By John Molyneux (International Socialism, Issue 115, Summer 2007, p.162-176). “By far the most frequent comment on Les Demoiselles, in both journalism and art history, is that it marks ‘the birth of modern art’. Let us first consider the justification for, and truth of, this bold claim.”

Modern rebel – Pablo Picasso. By Chris Nineham (Socialist Review, Issue 204, January 1997; online at Internet Archive). “He was an artistic rebel who became fantastically wealthy. He was an experimental artist who hated much about the modern world, and his paintings, which so often baffled and shocked the establishment, are among the most reproduced images in the world ­ part of our visual language.”

In pursuit of abstract peace (Socialism Today, Issue 140, July-August 2012). Paul Gerrard reviews ‘Picasso: Peace and Freedom’, Tate Liverpool 2012. “The particular irony of Picasso as the most expensive artist in the world is that, for the last 30 years of his life, he was a committed member of the French Communist Party (PCF), and it is on Picasso’s later political and anti-war paintings that this exhibition at Tate Liverpool focuses.”

Picasso and African Art. By John Molyneux (Blog, October 2, 2006). “What Picasso found in African art was the key, or one of the keys, to a new way of seeing and representing the world and a profoundly new conception of art, which broke more decisively than ever before – the break had been building for decades – with the dominant European art tradition.” Followed by Art versus War (October 2, 2006)

Introduction to John Berger on Picasso. By Mike Gonzalez (International Socialism, Issue 40, Autumn 1988, p.105-110). “Even dead, Picasso provokes controversy. The public argument about the recent exhibition of drawing and paintings from Picasso’s last twenty years, has driven some critics to near apoplexy.”

Defending Picasso’s late work. By John Berger (International Socialism, Issue 40, Autumn 1988, p.111-117). “The last period of Picasso’s life as a painter was dominated by the theme of sexuality. Of the two hundred works shown in the Tate exhibition this summer, three-quarters show women or couples observed or imagined as sexual beings.”
