3 “Centennial” Celebrations of Artists in DC
A lot of artists turned 100 this year; or at least would have if still alive. But Death stops no celebration! Right now there are at least 3 exhibits honoring artists at 100: Harry Callahan at the National Gallery of Art, the newly opened Jackson Pollock at the American Archives of Art, and opening in 2 weeks, Romare Bearden at, wait for it, Macy’s!
Whaaat? Apparently there will be a satellite show of Bearden’s works on paper from 1964-1984 (watercolor, oil, prints) on loan from the Romare Bearden Foundation at Macy’s Metro Center location. Lesson learned: as an artist, you’re likelihood of a show at 100 is good, but it may get lost among the shoes.
