Last Chance to View Jacob Lawrence's Striking Narratives at the Museum of Modern Art
Posted: August 15, 2015 13:54The Museum of Modern Art did a wonderful job with the Jacob Lawrence One-Way Ticket show (on view through Sept. 7, 2015).

Besides the exhibition itself, curator Jillian Russo included a wall of names of 3751 men and 174 women who served in the military and who either taught or studied at the League.

In 1941 she was seized by the US Navy and used for military transport under the name USS Hermitage....

ART SANTA FE, 2015
Posted: July 23, 2015 20:39 Sunday, July 12, was the last day of Art Santa Fe 2015. We loved being there and had many wonderful visitors. We were especially pleased that works by William Baziotes, Isabel Bishop, Howard Daum, Peter Grippe, Hugh Mesibov, and Angelo Pinto, (east-coasters all) were noticed and admired! Peggy Bacon's ink drawing, Seated Woman Drawing, 1930, was one of the hits! (They just don't make cigarette holders like that anymore.)
