...Museum of Fine Arts has just opened up a very pleasant exhibit of works by A.C. Goodwin (1866-1929), a minor American artist who spent a lot of his time making pictures of Boston. The display assembles nearly 70 paintings and pastels, predominately of Bean Town streets, wharves, gardens and countryside, done around the turn of the century. An exhibit like this probably goes up more for its civic and historical interest than for its artistic merits, and there's nothing wrong with that. Goodwin's cityscapes are fun, if nothing else, and its always nice to know how your...
...Graduate School of Design, like good old A.C. Goodwin, is interested in the way cities look. This week the GSD is featuring an exhibit on housing for the elderly. The display presents models and drawings produced by the Winthrop Housing Authority's competition of works that best solve the problem of architecturally caring for the aged. The 21 prize winners all created designs that took specific behavior patterns into account and tried to deal with the patterns sympathetically. An interesting exercise that's worth stopping by Gund Hall to take a look...

In addition, this show allows him to exhibit a lot of mercurial movement and supple dancing. Price is, as Cole Porter might have put it, priceless...
...Fogg has a lovely little exhibit of American watercolors tucked away in one of its back galleries that includes works by Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent. The Fogg doesn't really do all that much special with American art, especially non-contemporary works, all the more reason not to miss this treat. The museum's PR person, Janet Cox, says her art friends all think that the Fogg's Homers and Sargents are as good as the ones hanging in the MFA, and Janet wouldn't try to fool you. The exhibit has to come down soon because...
...works on exhibit at the Busch-Reisinger, whether utilitarian or purely aesthetic in purpose, support Anni Albers's statement that, "The good designer is the anonymous designer ...the one who does not stand in the way of his material." The screenprints, lithographs, textile samples, paintings--even Josef Albers's photographs and his silver holders for ice tea glasses--show an overriding concern with the impersonal qualities of formal design...
