> ART&AFFLUENCE
Beginning November 6th, JOPLIN TRI-STATE BUSINESS, will publish a special section of their periodical, entitled "Art&Affluence"
I am, thusfar, the contributing columnist... albeit in NO way a journalist.
joplinnews@joplintsb.com
They have set a goal of having a website by January, 2007.
I believe in them.
So should you.
> SHOWME THE OZARKS MAGAZINE
Missourah, is the "Show Me" state. That's my story, and I've stuck to it. Lord knows.
http://www.showmetheozarks.com
This morning I committed to one article monthly featuring an Ozark artist not of MY personal or professional choice... in exchange for a squib.
What they want to do is to feature a monthly artist, in accord with the passing of the seasons.
I like that idea, very much. It fits with our regional Ozark ways.
KEEP the home fires burnin'
I believe in them.
So should you.

> ACADEMIC CHARISMA
According to a NEW YORKER article limned by Anthony Grafton, on page 86 (10.23.06 issue) it was stated that, in ca. late 1700s:
"Christian Gottlob Heyne, who integrated the visual arts into the formal study of antiquity, also ran Gottingen's university library - one of the largest and best organized in Europe - and published reviews of some eight thousand of the books that he obtained and catalogued for the university's collection."
So, in the whole of academic history, Mr. Grafton has asserted that it was Mr. Heyne, "... who integrated the visual arts into the formal study of antiquity..."
If so, thanks?
It was Heyne, then... who, singlehandely "integrated the visual arts..." ?
I respectfully ask to see proof of that assertion.
Heyne might have, or did, well do a lot of cataloguing and so forth. Nevertheless, anytime I read or hear the word "integration", my hackles get up... due to how that word has been so tragically abused.
> HIGH LOUVRE
The High Museum of Art in Atlanta has, by whatever means, and for whatever reasons, achieved a mighty cultural coup... by somehow persuading the Louvre to lend them a number of undoubtable art masterpieces for exhibition... at NO small cost BTW.
The Louvre collection does not extend beyond the year ca. 1850.
On the "Charlie Rose" PBS show last evening, I heard the current Louvre Director state that it is his sincere wish to include in their collection more work by American artists.
Damn so, dude!

> STRETCHING CREDULITY
I received the following as part of an Email, from a trusted friend. I have no idea whether it is mythological or truthful... but, I do find it interesting, either way.
Apparently, the Congressional Record reflects that in 1963 a member of Congress (A.S. Herlong) included a list of 47 "Current Communist Goals" in testimony.
#23 caught my attention, as it may well yours.
