A Short Look At The Cincinnati Museum of Art: 1

The Cincinnati Museum, stood out less for the quality (great as it is) of its collection, as the overall viewing experience with each gallery laid out with precision and craftsmanship. My Images don't do justice to the experience.

Modern galleries generally had a no photography policy. Also, several important areas like the Asian Art Galleries seemed to be undergoing renovation.

Classy Art Deco Staircase 

Entrance with inevitable Chihuly

Grant Wood 

European Gallery 

Diego Velazquez

Folk Art Sign: American Gallery 

Elizabeth Catlett 

A sweet gesture

Carnegie Mellon University is presenting Elizabeth Catlett with an honorary doctorate during their commencement this Sunday. Catlett, whose work addresses social justice and women's rights issues, has had a long career only recently acknowledged. A small presentation of her sculptures and prints will be on view at the Regina Gouger Miller Gallery on the campus today and tomorrow. The gallery will also have a taped interview of Catlett available for viewing through May 31.
