Genie Davis writes in Diversions LA - "Gregg Chadwick’s   Arrivals and Departure s is a softly impressionistic blur of motion with a Marine Corps helicopter hovering over the White House, an image that speaks to our time while also being quite lovely and mysterious in a wash of golden light. Is someone fleeing the scene? Is someone being protected?"

 It’s Been Called the ‘Sistine Chapel of the New Deal.’ Don’t Destroy It. The rare murals in the Cohen Federal Building celebrate vital American values of dignity and community. Now they could meet the same fate as the White House’s East Wing.  gift article  https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/arts/design/wilbur-cohen-building-murals-guston-shahn.html?unlocked_article_code=1.KFA.PLvC.Y4MB6WADkXMn&smid=bs-share

Tom Morello and Rise Against A Concert of Solidarity & Resistance To Defend Minnesota! with Al Di Meola, Ike Reilly and Bruce Springsteen!

From @springsteen : I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen Lyrics: Through the winter’s ice and cold Down Nicollet Avenue A city aflame fought fire and ice ‘Neath an occupier’s boots King Trump’s private army from the DHS Guns belted to their coats Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law Or so their story goes Against smoke and rubber bullets By the dawn’s early light Citizens stood for justice Their voices ringing through the night And there were bloody footprints Where mercy should have stood And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets Alex Pretti and Renee Good Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Here in our home t...

Join Dita Amory, Robert Lehman Curator in Charge, Lehman Collection, and Max Hollein, Marina Kellen French Director and CEO,  to virtually explore Seeing Silence: The Paintings of Helene Schjerfbeck. Beloved in Nordic countries for her highly original style, Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck (1862–1946) is relatively unknown to the rest of the world. Overcoming immense personal struggles and working in a remote location for decades, she produced a powerful body of work through sheer force of will. This exhibition affirms her rightful place in the story of modern art. Following Schjerfbeck’s journey from art school in Paris to her final days in Sweden, the exhibition illustrates her shift from traditional and realistic subjects to a simplified, spare style. In the early 1900s, using her mother and neighbors as models, she painted abstractly, paring down her subjects in form and color and developing a bold, new language. Seeing Silence: The Paintings of Helene Schjerfbeck is the fir...

  Got the word from my brother last night that my Mom has now moved on to hospice. Packing up our things today - MSue and I will drive North to Pacific Grove tomorrow where my Mom is resting before her great ride on the Mystery Train. Two years ago I was honored to present this painting to a collection of journalists from the UK who were in Santa Monica for Frieze Week. I choked up a bit while describing this painting. My Mom grew up in Newark, New Jersey. Weequahic High grad. Daughter of a Jersey Central Railway engineer.  @jimmybuffs  aficionado. She ventured from the Newark Bay to explore the world with my Dad -  @marines . In this painting, I have gathered a number of her remembrances into an homage to Mom and life itself. The woman in pink seems to be a metaphoric representation of Mom - a young Peg Susan Chadwick on a Newark bridge looking out towards NYC and the world beyond. I can hear her saying -  "Look, I see sunshine!" - "Exit to Station" oil on line...
