Ordinarily it is a good thing that my readers span the globe. OK, maybe not the globe, but at least as far as Grass Valley, California. On the other hand, sometimes it seems unfair for me to write about local matters and activities.
Still, I do it. If you live within 75 to 100 miles of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, I want to recommend the Robert Beck exhibition at the Michener Art Museum. He’s an amazing artist, sometimes painting an event while it is happening, then redoing it in his studio. The exhibition has two paintings side-by-side of three surgeons operating. The painting done in the operating room has broad stokes and was obviously done while the operation was in progress.. The second, larger and finished in the studio, looks “finished.” The blood on the gloves and gowns, for example, isn’t as splashy. They are both excellent, but I like the quick study better.
If you go, also check out “Whistler’s dog” and look at the Manhattan street scene in the snow. Amazing show.
