Inventing Abstraction, 1910–1925

Just saw this amazing show today at a member's preview at the Museum of Modern Art so it was a nice calm view for me. Beautifully installed with great works many by some of my favorite artists and some new discoveries by artists I had never heard of and artists whose work is not often shown. Never knew Nijinsky did drawings, there are four beautiful ones by him included, and when was the last time we saw something by Duncan Grant or Vanessa Bell? The small Picasso at the end of the show seems more like an afterthought or homage but a small quibble. This is a beautiful and memorable show.
