Lydia Gasman Tributes

It is with deep sadness that we report that Lydia Gasman, legendary Picasso scholar, brilliant artist and great friend, passed away on January 15. A memorial celebration was held for her at LYDM, Friday January 22, just before the opening of Lydia Gasman and David Summers: Philosophers and Painters.

“…brilliant and internationally famous art historian, renowned Picasso scholar, sublime painter and inspiration to countless writers, scholars, artists, and philosophers…”

Bombs like fainting angry angels hector
And have hectored our shamed skies.
The black sun of melancholy stares us down.
A spider's web wires black and yellow suns together
Netting us in a cosmic weave of good and evil.

"… I went to see for myself an exhibit Lyn had arranged, called “Philosophers and Painters,” which features works by David Summers—a Renaissance expert at UVA and painter on the side, whose clever studies in light reference artists from Charles Wright to Caravaggio—but mostly the recent works of Lydia Gasman, a renowned Picasso scholar and popular professor of art history at UVA who died last month at the age of 84. Contained in the exhibit is a series of 16 works that Gasman painted in 2009 alone, the last year of her life, half of which are called "Anthropomorphic Brushstrokes."
