I should probably turn over authorship of this blog to the lovely Collier sisters-- both because they might be more diligent about updating it frequently, and they've also inspired the past two posts.Last weekend I was invited to an art exhibit at the Antreasian gallery in Hampden where Katherine has a painting in the "Summer Nudes" exhibit. It was a great summer night, with lots of folks spilling out onto the sidewalk on the Avenue and many beautiful paintings, photos, and sculptures to admire. Go check out the exhibit if you're near 36th, and if you go in the morning have breakfast at Golden West Cafe next door and order the most amazing french toast I've ever tasted!
On Saturday we continued our arty adventures at the Walters Art Museum in Mount Vernon to see the Gee's Bend Quilts. I'd never heard of these quilts before last weekend, but it was probably one of the most exciting experiences I've had at an art museum. The quilts of Gee's Bend (an African American town in rural Alabama) were discovered a few years ago and have been amazing audiences at the Whitney and museums around the country ever since, and the women quilters are now heralded as masters of modern art. The colors, patterns, and use of unusual fabrics (denim work pants, fuzzy knees and all!) are truly stunning. The civil rights story of Gee's Bend is equally interesting-- after Martin Luther King Jr. spoke in Gees Bend in the 60's and residents began taking the ferry to the county seat to vote, the ferry was shut down, effectively closing off the town's access to the outside world. Luckily the ferry service was reinstated (wait for it, wait for it)...in 2006, FORTY YEARS later!! The quilts are only at the Walters through August 26 (admission is free) so get over there while you can. Apologies for the awkward exhibit poster photo-- pictures weren't allowed of the actual quilts.
As for me, I'm naturally blogging to delay packing for a trip-- the hubby and I are off to chase Hemingway (Hemingway's ghosts?) around France and Spain, so I'll be in Europe til end of August. Au revoir!
