Australian feminist comedian Hannah Gadsby has been roasted by art critics after launching her It’s Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City. 

The art show features more than 100 works including pieces by Picasso and by modern female artists, as well as audio descriptions by Gadsby herself.

An official press release says the exhibition ‘reckons with complex questions around misogyny, creativity, the art-historical canon, and ‘genius”. 

Meanwhile, a promo video shows Gadsby strolling through the museum as she refers to Picasso as a ‘misogynist’ whose life needs to be viewed through the fresh lens of feminism. 

However, the exhibition has left many attendees unimpressed, with New York Times critic Jason Farago writing: ‘The ambitions here are at GIF level, though perhaps that is the point.’

Farago also criticised the variety of artists displayed, adding: ‘The female artists featured do not include female Cubists, women inspired by Picasso, or the female artists Picasso was actually involved with in his life.’

Meanwhile, Adlan Jackson’s review for Hell Gate was bluntly headlined: ‘Don’t Go to It’s Pablo-matic.’

ARTnews‘ Alex Greenberger also pointed out the artworks ‘have almost nothing in common, beside the fact that they are all owned by the Brooklyn Museum.’

Writer Sophia Benoit Tweeted: ‘So so so happy that Hannah Gadsby made the Pablo-matic (lmfao) exhibit because the reviews of it have been the best, most fun culture writing in a while imo!!!!!’

Other critics noted the exhibit labels written by Gadsby read more like tweets, and offered little in the way of actual insights into the artworks.

Gadsby’s art show was inspired by her 2018 Netflix comedy special Nanette, in which she slammed Picasso and his impact on modern art. 

In the stand-up routine she joked that the artist had launched Cubism by putting a ‘kaleidoscope filter’ on his penis.

It comes after it was revealed Gadsby slammed comedy legend Barry Humphries, five years before his death.

In a resurfaced Tweet from 2018, Gadsby labelled Humphries as ‘irrelevant and inhumane’ as she criticised his comedy act.

‘Barry Humphries loves those who hold power, hates vulnerable minorities and has completely lost the ability to read the room,’ she wrote.

‘That’s not a comedian, that’s an irrelevant, inhumane d**k biscuit of the highest order.’

Following news of Humphries’ death in April, media insider Peter Ford reposted the historic Tweet and hit back: ‘Comedy is subjective. We don’t all find the same things funny.’

‘Hannah is entitled to her opinion. However my view is that I understand Hannah identifies as being funny but Barry actually WAS funny. I hope she feels proud the charge she lead against a then 84 year old man.’

‘We really had to figure out which direction we wanted to go,’ he said about figuring out the story. 

He released The One and Only Sparkella in 2021 and The One and Only Sparkella Makes a Plan in 2022.

‘And if you have kids, you know that they’re going through massive life learning lessons on a daily basis, at a rapid pace. So trying to pick one and solidify it is not the easiest of jobs.’

And it was a real-life incident with Everly that ultimately gave Channing the idea for his latest book.

As a father, the Magic Mike star learned that kids begin experimenting with lying around age five.

‘They really start to experiment with lying and really telling these untruths to see how they make them feel,’ he said. ‘They’re starting to use them as tools in a way.’

He went on to tell a story about a time his daughter took a toy car home from school. The Step Up actor said he could tell it was ‘eating her up.’

‘She calls me in. And she would always hustle me to not go to bed when I’m telling her to. I was like, “Ev, what’s going on?” She’s like, “You’re just going to be so mad at me. I just can’t tell you.” And I’m like, “Evie, just tell me. I’m not going to be mad. I promise. We’ll handle whatever it is. It’s okay.”‘

Everly eventually admitted what she had done. ‘And it was a big relief. She definitely had to go and return it and apologize. But that was the worst of it,’ Tatum explained.

‘I think it was a big lesson for her. It was that first one. That first big, big one that you feel like your world’s going to end.’

In The One and Only Sparkella and the Big Lie, Sparkella attempts to befriend the cool kid at school by taking another friend’s toy to impress them.

‘I usually always kind of connect it to something that I went through with Evie that I can understand at least the emotional journey of it,’ Tatum said.
