Speaking of Art
Do see the cubist painting by Diego Rivera at the National Gallery of Art.
Don't bother with the same museum's exhibition of newly acquired paintings from the collection of John Wilmerding (nothing impressive here except for a couple of good works by Thomas Eakins).
The Wall Street Journal On-line has an interesting article today about the Museum of Modern Art's practice of deaccessioning paintings. Its an aspect of the art world that I bet most of us know very little about and even more of us don't understand.
