Last Call: Modigliani at the Jewish Museum, NY through February 4th




Modigliani Unmasked closes on Sunday, February 4th.  My review of the show was published today in Bonjour Paris.  Hopefully, you have visited this excellent exhibition already.  You have one more day to study these exquisite drawings from the private collection of Dr. Paul Alexandre.  From there, it is a treat and privilege to run to the Met for the Michelangelo drawing exhibition, closing next weekend (Yikes, already!), wherein you can see the influence of the Renaissance master on this 20th century modernist.  (I'll send out another notice for this show during the week.)




If you visit the Modigliani show today or tomorrow, you will also be able to see the wonderful exhibition of clothing Veiling Meaning: Fashioning Jewish Dress from the Collection of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, on through March 18th.  Also, their new installation of highlights from the permanent collection, Scenes from a Collection, is now on view.

Sorry to say the Groundhog saw his shadow - six more weeks of winter :(
I hope you are using this dreary weather to unleash your creative spirit at home, in your studio, at an art school, or through private lessons with professional artists.  I will send out information about opportunities you may not know about through the usual channels.  So  - stay tuned.

Best wishes for the weekend,
Beth
