The Deana Lawson exhibit at the High is closing on February 19, so there are just a few more days to see it. Her photographs get in your head and stay there. Highly recommended. #HighMuseum #photography #DeanaLawson

Every museum in America could be open to the public past 5 p.m. at least once a month.

Here is what Atlanta's High Museum does. The series is called High Frequency Fridays.

#Modernism #Art #StuartDavis #HighMuseum #Ashcan Newly displayed at High is Stuart Davis painting Shapes of Landscape Space #3 1940. Caption said work was based on his observation "I paint what I see in America, in other words I paint the American Scene." The Ashcan colors drew me in with feelings of happiness and optimism. Davis propels what is best from his world, the rhythms of jazz, the dynamism of urban life.

“His eyes, which at table had been amiably inattentive, now flashed with strange lights, and he seemed to have grown larger and younger. He worked, worked, worked, with the entire passion and force of his heavy body;”— The World of Yesterday by Stefan Zweig

Stefan Zweig memoir _The World of Yesterday_ recounted this while watching Rodin in a state of "ecstasis" work clay: “His eyes, which at table had been amiably inattentive, now flashed with strange lights, and he seemed to have grown larger and younger. He worked, worked, worked, with the entire passion and force of his heavy body;"
