John Kenneth Galbraith Quote Of The Week From Greg Bover

Economic forecasting exists to make astrology look good.
John Kenneth Galbraith   1908-2006

A Canadian by birth, Galbraith taught at Harvard for many years and wrote nearly fifty books on economics and social justice. He was a proponent of the interventionist monetary policies of John Maynard Keynes, and he influenced the economic approach of presidents from Truman to Obama. He was US ambassador to India and received the Medal of Freedom twice.

Wow! New Museum of Fine Art “Art of the Americas”

Took a bike ride over to MFA after lunch today to see the new wing. I was totally blown away. The open space, the light, the paint on the walls, the doors, the floor, all were amazing. And the same art that was in the old now glows in this new space. John Singer Sargent, John Singleton Copley both get big space and the difference is profound. Those halibuts in Winslow Homer’s boat never looked more forlorn as the fog rolls in.

Upstairs Edward Hopper has two (EXLAX and woman looking out window in Brooklyn) , Henry Fitz Lane has tons in two different locations. One gallery he shares with Martin Johnson Heade then downstairs are boats and more Henry Fitz.

Completely overwhelming. I had to go into the old part up to room 255 to check out the Monet, Manet, Van Gogh’s and Renoir’s just to get my bearings.  Beautiful paintings but the room seemed so drab after viewing the new wing. And the lighting just plain sucked compared to the new wing. I hope they get some paint and some new light bulbs for the old part.

This new wing is going to be my favorite place to hang out on cold dark winter days.

Representing in the Hudson Valley

This weekend we got off to to my hometown, Highland New York to visit family and friends. If you ever get to the Hudson Valley, you need to check out the Walkway Over the Hudson. They got $38 Million dollars to turn an unused train bridge that crosses from Highland to Poughkeepsie NY into a walkway. It is a must see!
