Re "Perspectives" exhibition

"In my opinion . . ." comments received about the current exhibition, "Perspectives"

Lovely variety of artists.

Beautiful artwork.

Interesting collections.

Absolutely incredible variety of art.

Great collections! Amazing!

I want to tell you how much I enjoyed Harriet Moore's work. Thank you for the high quality of the exhibitions that you have selected. Her paintings and sculptures demand more than a cursory look. I'm hoping to return soon. It's amazing to me that so few of my artist friends were, until recently, aware of such a wonderful resource that the Peninsula Art Museum represents to the Bay Area.

Chagall-esque (re Dante work) - very expressive. I liked the Chinese / Japanese collection also. (unsigned)

I feel that Harriet Moore is the century's greatest artist! Liz Olmstead

"The Divine Comedy" paintings and sculpture by Harriet Grannis Moore opened last Sunday, and we (Museum staff and visitors) may never be the same. Awesomely weird and beautiful art. Come see. Will try to get photo from reception up tomorrow.

Some of the comments left on the clipboard:

"Such wonderful paintings, sculptures and all!"

"Harriet is wonderful."

"Brilliant work."

"I'm so glad you are showing this marvelous work. This venue is so well lit."

"Magically delicious."

"Great presentation of a woman's work not usually appreciated."

Fabulous installation of wonderful Zirker machines! Davey & Kristina

I found the Zirker show very interesting. I wish I could have been here for his demonstration of cast monotpes. Cosette Dudley

Beautiful Zirker exhibition! Hette, Stefan, & Ella Kirkeby

"Machines of Memory" closes

Joe Zirker said "This is the best exhibition I've ever had" when he and Eva (pictured) visited the Museum on Sunday, the final day of "Machines of Memory".

Yesterday the cast acrylic monotypes and sculptures were taken down ("deinstalled" in museumspeak), wrapped, and delivered back to Joe's studio. Next, Paula Kirkeby will choose perhaps half of the pieces to show at Smith Andersen Editions in Palo Alto. The opening reception at SAE is April 10, 3 to 5 p.m.

Museum Newsletter

The winter newsletter is almost in the mail - takes longer these days, since the Postal Service requires THREE sticky dots on each piece, and of course an address label. Time-consuming, wouldn't happen without wonderful volunteers.

Not much time left to enjoy Joe Zirker's cast acrylic monotypes and sculpture - "Machines of Memory" closes on Sunday, March 28. The next Gallery exhibition, Harriet Moore's paintings and sculpture based on Dante's "Divine Comedy", opens with a reception on April 18. Watch for your announcement card in the mail.
