The Happy Place in New York is the Matisse Cutouts Show at the Modern, running through February.

“The Penitent Magdalen” by Georges de La Tour (1640)

“Calder exhibit at the Guggenheim” by John Swope (1964)

I can’t give it away on 7th Avenue.

The inspiration for Hopper’s “Early Sunday Morning”…

The best way to spend lunch. Dip over to the Museum of Modern Art and look at my favorite Matisse picture.

Torafu from Super Punch. 

I can’t wait to get down to the Mall to check it out.

Over at the Japan Society, there is a cool-looking exhibition (through June 12th): “Bye Bye Kitty! Between Heaven and Hell in Contemporary Japanese Art.”
