he is picasso. the city--paris. of all the artists who worked in paris, it's picasso who's been elevated by critics and historians to the status of the modern artist as hero. to honor him, the french installed all the works he never wanted to sell in the grandest of museums, a supreme monument founded by the establishment to an artist whose reputation was built on the subversion of establishments. here, at the musee picasso, is an exhibition focused on the single most famous modern picture painted by picasso-- les demoiselles d'avignon. this painting is repeatedly claimed to be the first modern painting of the 20th century. far more important, i think, is that this painting has two quite separate identities, even reputations. in the first place, it has a reputation as what might be called a highly expressive painting, a painting whose content is sexuality and violence. in the second place, it has a reputation as the work that opened the way to a movement which we think of as quintessentially 20th-century-- cubism. i

the works include pieces by picasso, mattiace and it could be worth a billion dollars. the nazis considered the works deagain rat. the pieces were found by a tax investigation. sonja has more on the discoughedry. the story of a billion dollars nazi art was broken by a magazine. a flesher trove of master pieces. the large over the amounts 6 art confiscated by the nazis was considered rubbish. >> they lay in darkened rooms. a reclusive son of an art collector. >> this is the building where the art collection had been uncovered by german authorities. is 500 mass at the pieces were

in new york, he studied the works of modern european masters, especially miro and picasso. i think he had his best run in '47, '48, '49, '50, what i call the "all over," when he spattered or dripped or whatever. about his art, pollock knew what he was about. he trusted his spontaneity in what they call automatic painting. but he was in control. he'd stop from time to time to see what he'd done. and then when a picture was finished, he'd go back and edit now and then. when it comes to abstract art, there's no subject matter, but there is content, and the two have to be distinguished. in other words, the presence or absence of a recognizable image has nothing to do with value in art. it doesn't have to be about anything. i gave it the title lavender mist. i saw it, and i flipped for it, and then i knew all this predominant color was lavender, that kind of violet, and it was sort of a little misty, and so i suggested that to jackson. he said, "sure." he wasn't this wild, heedless genius. no, he wasn't that. he looked. he looked hard, and he was very sophisticated about paintin

it was at this point picasso remade his links with the classical past. matisse continued to paint untroubled evocations of life in the south of france. in germany, the sequel to defeat was revolution-- a bitter struggle between nationalists and revolutionaries. grosz's observations of nationalist brutality made him one of the left's most powerful propagandists. "i felt the ground shaking beneath my feet," he said. "and the shaking was visible in my work." his caricatures of weimar germany reject a society depraved by greed and power. grosz's contempt was shared by wider artistic developments in europe and america. those developments became known as dada. dada was like a storm that broke over the world of art. it had many centers-- from zurich to hanover, from cologne to new york-- and many sorts of artistic expression. unlike grosz in berlin, these dada artists didn't see the exposure of class divisions as their central purpose. they attacked the foundations on which nations were built-- truth, beauty, reason, science. in the wake of the catastrophe, all
