Hannah Gadsby's 'Pablo-matic' Show Sparks Controversy at Brooklyn Museum.

The Brooklyn Museum has dismissed negative reviews of “It’s Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby,” which opened to the public today after being panned in ARTnews and the New York Times. The show, co-organized by Gadsby and Brooklyn Museum senior curators Catherine Morris and Lisa Small, features more than 100 works. Alongside many Picassos, there are contemporary works by Cecily Brown, Judy Chicago, Renee Cox, Käthe Kollwitz, Dindga McCannon, Ana Mendieta, Marilyn Minter, Joan Semmel, and Faith Ringgold. The collaboration with Gadsby came out of the 2018 hit Netflix special Nanette, which included heavy criticism of Picasso and his influence.

Hannah Gadsby's 'Pablo-matic' exhibit explores Picasso's legacy at Brooklyn Museum.

Comedian Hannah Gadsby's exhibition "It's Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby" at the Brooklyn Museum falls short of its promise to put women artists on equal footing with Picasso. The exhibition features only a few paintings by Picasso, with works by women artists from the museum's collection thrown in almost at random. Gadsby's signed quips on adjacent labels are juvenile and do little to engage with feminist scholarship or the avant-garde. The exhibition's focus on "stories" over art is symptomatic of our back-to-front digital lives, and gives audiences permission to turn their backs on what challenges them.

Hannah Gadsby's 'Pablo-matic' exhibit explores Picasso's legacy at Brooklyn Museum.

Comedian Hannah Gadsby's new exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, "It's Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby," aims to critique Picasso's misogyny and colonialist impulses by pairing his works with contemporary feminist art. However, the show's disregard for art history and its centering of Picasso as the only modernist worth critiquing undermines its revisionary mindset. While the exhibition brings some impressive works to the US, it fails to acknowledge the contributions of women artists who were previously written off as Picasso's "muses."
