Hoping that you are enjoying this stormy month of February 2013.

If you have the opportunity to look at a copy of Worcester Magazine, February 7-13,2013 issue....review the articles on WAM conservation department; and the Fitchburg Art Museum article.  One of the better issues  highlighting.....art in Worcester.
For a city that offers a tremendous  of culture...we need to become an active participant in the arts that are presented. 

The New Yorker Magazine..February 11 and 18, 2013 has an interesting  review  of an exhibit at Morgan Library, New York City on Surrealism.  The Library itself is a work of art.

When you review or read anything interesting ,keep in mind the question of why?

Continue to see and to appreciate  each day....understanding will follow.

Thank you .

Spring 2013...Contemporary Art 121 B1

Hopefully you are adjusted to this new Semester.  Your Blog addresses have been added to the web link Icon.
I look forward to your participation in your postings.
Since my last postings of late 2012...I have visited the mid-atlantic states and their Museums, had interesting experiences along the way, and , returned with a renewed  interest in the arts in our own 'backyard'.
We , in New England have a wealth of art(s) to view.
Worcester Art Museum....Flora in Winter Display; Jill Slosburg-Ackerman: In Rome; Drawing Marathon, February 17(snow date February 24.....past ,present and future events worth thinking about.
New Yorker Magazine,January 21,2013...David Walsh...master gambler and his high stake Museum....page 50 on.  Is this the Museum of the future?  Do we need themes devoted to sex and death?   Are these new directions  a tourist attraction?   Many questions to think about, and possibly , reach some conclusions.
Continue to see, to understand, to appreciate what surrounds our daily existense.
Thank you.
