The Period (Time and Again - Editor) It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair... - Chuck Dickens 5:07:53 PM

Via Ed Cone The upcoming Matisse show at the North Carolina Museum of Art is described in detail at the museum website. Now that the show is just weeks away, I'm reposting the piece I put up last May. Even in tiny electronic form, these images give me a thrill. Claribel and Etta Cone wanted people to see the works they collected. As I've discussed with many members of our extended family, having a good-sized chunk of the Cone Collection come to North Carolina fulfills that vision in an especially appropriate and pleasing way. And as noted -- the Weatherspoon's related show is about to go up, too. Here's my May 15 post: Matisse and Picasso in North Carolina Last night I got a preview of a show that opens Oct. 10 at the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh -- a blockbuster featuring works from the Cone collection at the Baltimore Museum of Art. NCMA director Larry Wheeler and curator of European art David Steel have put together a pretty great exhibition, including: Henri Matisse Seated Odalisque, Left Knee Bent, Ornamental Background and Checkerboard 1928 Oil on canvas The Cone Collection BMA 1950.255 Henri Matisse Large Reclining Nude (also known as The Pink Nude) 1935 Oil on canvas The Cone Collection BMA 1950.258 Henri Matisse Purple Robe and Anemones 1937 Oil on canvas The Cone Collection BMA 1950.261 Vincent Van Gogh Landscape with Figures 1889 The Cone Collection BMA ...plus works by Picasso, Gauguin, Cézanne, Bonnard, Monet, Rodin, Degas, Modigliani, Braque, Léger and Giacometti. Baltimore wouldn't part with Matisse's Blue Nude or Cezanne's Mont Ste. Victoire, but otherwise NC got pretty much what it asked for. Greensboro's Weatherspoon Art Museum will hold a related show on Matisse and American drawing, which opens Sept. 26. The Weatherspoon has a great collection of Matisse lithographs, some bronzes, and a few Picasso drawings, too. Henri Matisse La Persane (Persian Woman) 1929 lithograph on paper The Cone Collection Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro Pablo Picasso Paolo as Harlequin with Flowers 1923 color etching on paper The Cone Collection Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro Henri Matisse Dr. Claribel Cone (IV/IV) 1931-34 Charcoals with stumping and erasing The Cone Collection BMA 1950.12.71 Henri Matisse Etta Cone (V/VI) 1931-1934 Charcoal with stumping and erasing The Cone Collection BMA 1950.12.68 I wrote about Etta and Claribel a few years ago in Forbes.

Viral Communications Lab MIT Viral Communications Lab. Statement: Viral Communications focuses on constructing agile, scalable, collaborative systems that permit uncontrolled growth, minimal power use, and maximum ability to intercommunicate, with viral architectures moving the intelligence from the trunk to the leaves. Centered in the MIT Media Laboratory, this work addresses both the basic mechanisms of radio and the applications that embed communications in the bits and pieces of daily life, from clothes, to dog collars, to furniture.
