Seeking to explain some of the reasons behind the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's growing preeminence in the field of Latin American art, a 2008 New York Times Magazine article pointed to its weakness in European modernist holdings compared with those of New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Hi,

I just got an e-mail that our good friend Blaine Hickey died this morning. I got to see him last on Nov 1st and he got to see my book and he gave a critique that I will continue to use for all my photo work. He had a couple of workshops with Ansel Adams in Yosemite and of course worked for decades with the de Menil's. He had a good life. We'll miss him.

Ivan Gordeli Hi, I was wondering if there will be a Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibit anytime soon or if any of his works are on display.
