Then on to the Lauder Cubism exhibit at the Met. Picasso, Braque, Gris. L\u00e9ger are artists in the collection. Cubism grabbed me as a child when I\u2019d wander through MOMA and stand in front of Picasso\u2019s Three Musicians.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_680\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-680\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-680\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_2521.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"Fernand L\u00e9ger&quot;s The Typographer \" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_2521.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_2521.jpg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_2521.jpg?resize=400%2C300 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_2521.jpg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_2521.jpg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-680\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fernand L\u00e9ger&#8221;s The Typographer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>NYCB\u2019s Glass Pieces with music by Philip Glass and choreography by Jerome Robbins was the best piece of an afternoon performance.
