Spanish artist Eugenio Recuenco’s fashion portrait series as homage-to-Picasso is impressive. The fragmented composite frames and prop-styling work to emulate some of the 20th century master’s most famous cubist paintings in a tasteful, restrained, more-than-straightforward-imitative manner.

The screenwriter-turned-curator will not be featuring Star Wars-inspired art and memorabilia; one of those exists already. Instead, he’ll be sharing original work from his own private “thousands-strong” collection, which he started when he was […]
