...their residences and look tasteful and patriotic. Through agreements with an array of institutions, artists and collectors, the program encourages ambassadors to become their own art dealers, selecting works that strike their aesthetic fancy. Among the most chosen artists in the diplomatic service: Childe Hassam, Maurice Prendergast, Edward Hopper, Mark Rothko, Jacob Lawrence, Morris Louis, Andrew Wyeth, Robert Rauschenberg, Dale Chihuly and Helen Frankenthaler. Says director Roselyne Swig: "Our ambassadors see the works as an invaluable outreach tool...
...everything pertaining to New Mexican cool shivers with the frisson of government conspiracy. On July 17, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum will open in Santa Fe--the first museum dedicated to the artist, whose paintings of flowers and bleached skulls have become as emblematic of New Mexico as Edward Hopper's urban loners are of New York City. Also in Santa Fe, from June 3 through Aug. 16, is Santa Fe Stages: the International Theater Festival, for which the city will be host to everything from Canadian avant-gardists (a brochure warns of "brief nudity") to a women-in-drag...

She strode on stage in front...
Rockwell Kent, Edward Hopper, George Bellows, John Marin, Marsden Hartley--they all owed Homer something. His images of men, sea and mountain, and especially of women, were asexual, but that only made them more American, and saved them from the whiff of scandal that clung to Eakins. His mastery and fluency--in oil and especially in watercolor, which he was largely responsible for establishing as a serious medium in America--were the envy and secret despair of many an artist.
