More About the Exhibition of My Art Collection at the Cornell Art Museum… 

In last week’s Postscript, I mentioned that the Cornell Art Museum here in Delray Beach is exhibiting a large part of my collection of Central American modern art. Scheduled to close July 28, the exhibit has now been extended through August.

After 30 Years, I Get to See My Art Collection… and It Looks Good! 

The Cornell Art Museum in Delray Beach, FL, is exhibiting a good portion of the collection of Central American modern art that, with Suzanne Snyder, I’ve been assembling for nearly 30 years. Over that time, I’ve only seen it in small parts on the halls of my homes and offices. Seeing so many pieces (96) in one place was a rewarding experience. I was almost shocked by how strong it felt.

Suzanne and I did the curation, based on Central American Modernism, a book we produced on the project.

The collection is slated to be donated to the public, either in a museum I build somewhere, or, if I can’t afford that, in an established museum interested in the rich history and production of Central American modern art.

The exhibition will run through July 28 – so if you’re in the area, you might want to give it a look. Meanwhile, you can read about it here.

And here’s something else you might want to check out. Suzanne just told me that there will be a Book Talk at the museum on Sunday, June 23 at 1:00 featuring Latin American art scholar Carol Damian.

Hot Off the Press: RS Soccer Team Makes It to the Premier League! 

Rancho Santana’s men’s soccer team just became the first team in Rivas Country to make it to Nicaragua’s Premier League. This is a huge accomplishment, considering the high level of athleticism among the Nicaraguan soccer leagues.

From Far Out Magazine: 10 Movies too controversial for cinema 

I was intrigued enough to read the listicle and even watch the trailers. I suppose I was hoping for a smorgasbord of outlandish fare. A few were bizarre, including two I’d already seen decades years ago. Among the others, I put four on my “to-watch” list.

Take a look. I’d be curious to know if you were motivated to do the same.

“Being Liberal Isn’t Fun” 

I’ve said before that the best humor is that which unites, not divides. In the past several years, many of America’s best-known comedians have ceased performing at college campuses for fear of telling a politically incorrect joke. Because a second standard I have for great humor is that it must be brave enough to address difficult subjects, including political and social biases, I’ve developed a prejudice against those that were not attacking the Woke Left.

Last night, I came upon this stand-up routine by Andy Haynes, and he proves me wrong. He addresses some hot-button issues – from a liberal’s perspective – and yet, he’s really funny!

Enjoy!
