A Pulitzer Playwright's Eye, By Way of the Met

· 1 min read

Nilo Cruz, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright whose "Frida & Diego" is drawing audiences to the Metropolitan Opera, has opened up about the art that currently holds his attention. For a writer whose latest work centers two of the twentieth century's most collected painters, a public accounting of personal taste carries its own weight. Cruz named five works that have become recent fixations, offering a rare look at what an artist behind an opera about artists chooses to look at himself.

With reporting from ARTnews.
