I saw two lovely small art shows yesterday. One was new works of Hung Liu, mostly video, and they were interesting. The second was a surprise: Annie Leibowitz photos that were meditations on famous Americans from the point of view of their places or items they had owned. The photos were gorgeous, and powerful. I usually don't like her much because she is a celebrity photographer, but this show is terrific. She had items or rooms from people like Eleanor Roosevelt, Emily Dickenson, Louisa May Alcott, Abraham Lincoln, and others. There was a view of a farm with washing on the line and an orange tree at the site of of the Civil War Gettysburg battle that was haunting. I wanted to buy a book of the show, but there was none. So my friend and I had a fun day, eating outside for lunch and just walking around. It was good to take a baby trip.
Today my husband and I are testing out our new rakes, so hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go.
