Let's go on a guided tour of the Studio Museum of Harlem, shall we?!  It'll be grand!

Exhibit

Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool

The New York Times gave this exhibit a glowing review, saying Hendrick's "suave portraits from the 1960s, ’70s and early ’80s in this exhibit give [him] the right to use 'Birth of the Cool' as the title of his five-decade retrospective." [http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/05/arts/design/05hend.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=barkley%20hendricks&st=cse]

Other Cool Things About The Exhibit

-- It "mixes realism, abstraction and Pop [with] life-size paintings of beautiful black people [from the '60s and '70s] in extravagantly fashionable outfits against flat, single-color backgrounds [that] capture a period sensibility with uncanny acuity." -- from The New York Times review

-- It combines art 'n history, because the portraits capture iconic power in the years after the Civil Rights Movement.

-- There are also more recent paintings of outdoor landscape painting during vacations in Jamaica

-- Hendricks made his debut in 1971 at the Whitney Museum & his work is still being shown at numerous museums across the country

Culture for the Non-Cultured



Do you live in New York City -- with tons of culture right in your own backyard -- but see Superman Returns and other blockbusters, stuff you could see anywhere? Culture for the Non-Cultured participates in 2-3 cultural activities per month -- including theater, art galleries, museums, walking tours, aquariums, and historical homes. Each event brings in 20-60 people. Usually, we eat afterwards ... because nothing builds community like sitting around a table full of calories! **It is policy that there are no refunds for events, unless they are postponed or cancelled, so make sure you can come to the event before you pay ...**
