Portrait of Dora Maar (1937), Pablo Picasso

"In the twentieth century ... the process of modernization expands to take in virtually the whole world, and the developing world culture of modernism achieves spectacular triumphs in art and thought. On the other hand, as the modern public expands, it shatters into a multitude of fragments, speaking incommensurable private languages ... we find ourselves today in the midst of a modern age that has lost touch with the roots of its own modernity."—Marshall Berman, All That Is Solid Melts Into Air (1982)
