It would be great if you record the music or a selection from this programme with a digital MP3 player and post a couple of the files online - I've never actually heard an Indian Raga associated with the 'waning of the day' - sounds very interesting!

Menil Collection Read Douglas Britt's Torres-Garcia review in the Houston Chronicle. Come and see the exhibition, you won't be sorry!

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.
