Last Friday you may have read my "groundbreaking" simultaneous tweetcast from my Droid phone (my thumbs have new muscles) during the Elizabeth Catlett panel at the Bronx Museum. The program space was filled to capacity with the expectation that Ms. Catlett would make a rare NYC appearance. As it turned out the artist was ill and did not participate on the panel.

My eyesight being what it was (four-eyes since the first grade) as a kid I thought I could be the super hero Daredevil. Never mind I saw no practicality in handstands and somersaults, but he was blind, my eyesight was poor and we both liked red.
Forty years later, I can really connect to my favorite super hero at the 3rd Annual Bronx Heroes comic book convention, next Saturday, May 7, 2011, at Bronx Museum of the Artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10915225735961562346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935507862302768783.post-66901009999131564042011-04-23T09:58:00.000-07:002011-04-23T09:59:51.702-07:00Spring Gala & Art AuctionYou're cordially invited

Can't say she doesn't deserve it. To be 96-years old and still creating art is a wonderful thing.
The exhibition, STARGAZERS: Elizabeth Catlett in Conversation With 21 Contemporary Artists is quickly becoming one of the Museum's more popular exhibits. Read the New York Times's April 14 articleBronx Museum of the Artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10915225735961562346noreply@blogger.com0
