In this special lecture for the University of Hong Kong, Prof. Karmel will give an overview of his book and will also address the question of whether Picasso\u2019s work still matters today, when contemporary art seems to have evolved so far beyond historic styles like Cubism and Neo-Classicism. Is Picasso\u2019s work a relic of expired revolutions, or does it still speak to art today?<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"30px\">Speaker<\/h5>\n<p>Pepe Karmel is a Professor in the Department of Art History, New York University.
