   Picasso's La Table was acquired in 1932, shortly after Jere Abbott, founding Associate Director of the Museum of Modern Art, assumed the directorship of the Smith College Museum. Despite objections that were raised at the time, Abbott was convinced of the importance of this great painting, now considered one of the icons of twentieth-century art.

   It was not until the 1930s, however, that several important purchases (by Jere Abbott, director from 1932 to 1946) signaled the beginning of the museum's serious interest in drawings. Since then, the museum's directors and curators have added many noteworthy sheets, while an even greater number have been the gift of generous alumnae and friends of the museum.
