La autora analiza pinturas y dibujos realizados por Picasso en el verano de 1906 en Gósol. Habitualmente se ha considerado que buena parte de esta obra formaba parte—aunque una parte excéntrica y heterodoxa, por decirlo así—de la llamada "época rosa". La tesis de Jèssica Jaques es por completo diferente, pues no sólo considera que pinturas, esculturas y dibujos de este verano poseen una entidad propia, sino que suponen un cambio fundamental...

Those things are all good for you, but that's not what Hana Shafi wants to talk about.

Have we ever stopped to think what we could tell our children if asked what sort of legacy we, as a generation, are leaving to them? And what could we answer? That we are leaving them the biggest national debt ever accumulated? That we have been squandering their present, which happens to be our future? That we have poisoned their only home, spaceship, in the universe, that is, Mother Earth? Because, no doubt, we have been happily mortgaging our future,...
