Mexico City

Dream of Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park by Diego Rivera

I'm rereading The Lacuna by Barbara Kingslover. It has stirred my interest in Mexico City once again. I would love to see the murals painted by Diego Rivera and others. I've done a little research and have found that the homes of Frida Kahlo & Rivera are now museums. The Bauhaus house designed by O'Gorman is described as a monstrosity but the pictures I've seen, of stacked colored boxes, intrigue me. Since I've never been to Mexico would Mexico City be a good way to start? I'd like to find out.

In the Cat's Mouth



Always a delight to visit the site of the Museum of Bad Art. Yes it's true; even bad art deserves to be seen. Artist's, if you need inspiration, this is the place to click your mouse. It lifts my spirits and leaves me with a good belly laugh, not at the bad art but at the seriousness of the reviews.

Sign Sunday

The front door to the Citadelle in Canadian, TX. A museum, an art foundation, and a home rolled up into one. Watch the next few days as I share some of my pics from a recent visit.

The Citadelle

Bright and early tomorrow morning I am heading to The Citadelle in Canadian, TX. Yes, I was at the military Citadel in Charleston, SC in May, but this Citadelle is an art museum. Well, in it's first life it was a Baptist Church; then it became a residence; then after much expansion it became an art museum only opened to the public in 2009.

I am going specifically to see an exhibit of 33 works on paper by Mary Cassatt.

I'll take lots of pics, and some may land on this blog.

Question: Does everything that promotes itself as art deserve to be seen?
