He taught "Art of the Modern Period" at the Courtauld Institute of Art from 1959 to 1981 and was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1994.[3] As a curator "he made his public mark with another Picasso scholar, Elizabeth Cowling, by curating two groundbreaking exhibitions at the Tate Gallery in London: Picasso: Sculptor/Painter, in 1994, and Matisse/Picasso, in 2002-03, which also travelled to the Grand Palais in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York."[4]
