A visit to the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Asian collection
The Cleveland Museum of Art recently rotated its vast Asian collection, which I happily discovered during Friday’s visit. After a Caesar salad in the Atrium cafeteria–‘extra anchovies, please’–I started my weekly ramble in the galleries above the cafeteria where the Asian collection is housed. Major museums, like Cleveland, rotate parts of their collection all the
Visiting the Cleveland Museum of Art 10/17/14
The NY Times recently ran a piece about visiting art museums. I consider myself something of an expert on the subject, and I’m writing a post about the article, which–knock on wood!–I’ll publish soon. As readers know, I average one visit per week to museums. So far this year, I’ve visited the Cleveland Museum of Art 30+
One Hundred Birds
For those who love Asian art, as I do, the Cleveland Museum of Art is an oasis. Cleveland has one of the best Asian collections in N.

Durer prints at the Cleveland Museum of Art

Review: 43rd Student Show The Galleries at CSU
This is my second review of a Cleveland State U. student exhibition. Like last year’s show, the quality is student-grade but compares well with student shows at higher profile schools, like the Cleveland Institute of Art. The biggest difference between the two is that students at the latter produce more formal conceptional pieces. Also like last year’s show there
Spring? You bet!
Those aren’t whitecaps on Lake Erie but ice flows loosened from the thawing ice–but I’ll take it! We knew spring was finally arriving when we were able to keep the bedroom door open to last night’s warm breezes. It’s still too soon to hear the soothing sound of rolling waves, but–man o’ man!–it is sweet
van Gogh Repetitions
I plan on visiting the Cleveland Museum of Art’s exhibition van Gogh Repetitions later today. It will be my third visit to see it. The show has a number of first rate van Gogh’s and the theme–the artist copying himself–is interesting. I will write more about it later.
