March Madness

There were many wonderful happenings around town this month.  It had been difficult juggling and keeping up with all those things one does in a day.  The M.C. Escher Impossible Realities Show at the Akron Art Museum was top on my list.  The show dates are February 12th-May 29th 2011.  For more information: http://www.akronartmuseum.org/exhibitions/details.php?unid=1761

I also was obsessing  about a jar I saw at the Cleveland Museum of Art and did go back to take an image of the jar.

The Cleveland Museum of Art allows patrons to take images of work on exhibit as long as no flash is used.  The Akron Art Museum restricts this practice.  It is always good to find out the rules so one can "learn to play".

The other amazing happening around town is the Cleveland International Film Festival.  My friend Nanci, who is a big supporter of the film festival generously gifted me with a few movie passes.  One movie which is well worth watching is titled The Woodmans.  The Woodmans is a documentary about the life of photographer Francesca Woodman, daughter of George and Betty Woodman.  The movie explores the haunting suicide of the talented photographer Francesca Woodman and the impact such an act  has on matters of the heart.  The movie also explores how the work of ceramic artist, Betty Woodman, changes after this tragedy.   http://www.thewoodmansmovie.com/
