Aaron Douglas
Great exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Originally from Kansas and later at Fisk University in Nashville, Douglas was a major figure of the Harlem Renaissance. This piece is owned by the people of Wisconsin, thanks to a purchase by Governor Patrick Lucey. It usually hangs in the Governor's Residence in Madison.
Ack and Anne are long time sweeties who are on a new adventure. Ack, a professor at UW-Madison, is on sabbatical for 9 months. Anne, a folklorist who loves to explore new cultural settings, is along for the fun. --That was our description as of 9/07 when we were just starting our time in DC (see blog "ackandanne"). Now we're back in Madison on the grand adventure of life at home (see blog "ackanne1954").
