Come for the incredibly extensive collection of Matisse, stay for the rare Impressionist female artists that you have never heard of; the stunning and unique Antioch mosaics; the art featuring people of color in unexpected styles and time periods; the charming sculpture garden; the random Van Gogh and Rembrandt and O'Keefe and Le Brun just peering at you from an unexpected corner...

Nancy Sheung
•••
A wonderful, unusual spotlight on a female Asian and Hong Kong artist. Even more inspiring: she didn't pick up a camera until 40. I suspect she and Vivian Maier would have been friends.

Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front (Wendell Berry)

I love this for today, when we might not be quite so sure how to celebrate the 4th in this country that was born in the spirit of freedom. " Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready-made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something They will call you. When they want you To die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won’t compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion – put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering Of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie down in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn’t go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection."

Park Seo-Bo
•••
The father of the Dansaekhwa Korean minimalist art movement. His paintings look simple and serene, but the textures of the hanji paper molded into the canvas and the depth of pencil strokes into gesso make it unforgettable when seen in person.

Have you seen anything like this? Partly psychedelic, partly geometric. If you ever stop by Seagrove, NC, visit Eck McCandless for a demonstration on how he creates these visions. If you're lucky, he'll host an impromptu sculpture lesson with a bit of clay.
