Pablo Picasso Spanish, 1881-1973 The Charnel House 1944-45 Oil and charcoal on canvas Mrs. Sam A. Lewisohn Bequest (by exchange), and Mrs. Marya Bernard Fund in memory of her husband Dr. Bernard Bernard, and anonymous funds, 1971 With its black-and-white tones, The Charnel: House was inspired by newspaper photographs showing piles of corpses in liberated Nazi concentration camps. Picasso depicted a murdered family unceremoniously tangled together under a dining table. With Its varying degrees of finish-you can see traces of charcoal and sections of blank canvas-and vast network of undulating lines and geometric shapes, Picasso seems to have obscured legibility In favor of generating a rhythmic abstraction. As If questioning the ability of painting to represent war, he created a shifting, spectral vision.

HOUSTON CONWILL (American, 1947-2016) with JOSEPH DE PACE (American, born 1954) and ESTELLA CONWILL MAJOZO (American, born 1949) Langston Hughes' Rivers, 1991 Screenprint The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Gift of Agnes Gund, 1994 This cosmogram by American multidisciplinary artist Houston Conwill pays homage to "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," an acclaimed poem by the preeminent writer of the Harlem Renaissance. The protagonist of Langston Hughes's poem, originally published in the June 1921 issue of The Crisis, boasts, "I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it." Conwill's design schematically maps the poem's fluvial points of reference: Euphrates, Congo, Mississippi, and Nile. A corresponding floor mosaic at the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture marks the place where Hughes's ashes are buried.
