Kantha: The Embroidered Quilts of Bengal
This is a great big book that came out of a collaboration of scholars and curators working with the collections of quilts from Bengal, India--in the Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz Collection and the Stella Kramrisch Collection--held by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It offers up many images of the distinctive work created in the region as well as scholarly essays on different topics. The essays look at family life and the role of kantha and their making, how kantha took on a symbolic role as tradition early in the 20th century, how religious stories show up in the quilts’ imagery, the role of women in their making, and a close look at the techniques used and the design process.
Although I have seen a wide range of quilts made in the United States from the 18th century to the contemporary examples, these quilts offered designs and techniques that were new to me. So, if you are interested in the global history of quilting, take a look. Or check out the online show which the museum has posted here: https://www.philamuseum.org/exhibitions/364.html

MOLD-BLOWN BOTTLE of Hans van Rossum
Late 3rd century – 4th century AD | Eastern Mediterranean, probably Syria
Size↑9.7 cm | ø 5.7 cm (body) | Weight 72 g
Technique: Body blown in a mold with two vertical sections. Neck and rim free blown, handles and coil applied.
Description: Transparent olive green glass, lens-shaped body, circular in front elevation. Cylindrical neck, flaring rim folded inward. Base indented with roughly cut off profile. Mold-blown decoration on body; on front and back, two concentric raised circles surrounded by rosette and twenty raised petals; on the perimeter, two rows of graduated circles with central bosses alternating with pairs of small bosses. Two opposed angular handles applied on the shoulder, drawn up and down, folded and applied to edge of rim. Probably the glassmaker had no good sense how to divide the amount of glass he needed; one handle is wide and massive, the other small and thin. The same with the trail around the neck; starting with a big drop, continuing in a thick coil, he ended the coil ring around the neck in a hairline trail. Pontil mark.
Condition: Intact, some slightly incrustation
Remarks: The same mold-blown design of concentric circles surrounded by a rosette was already used by the glass blowers during the first century AD. An example of this early mold-blown glass vessel is part of the Borowski Collection, no. V-52 and another one was part of the Collection of Monsieur Demeulenare no. 130. The early types however have different characteristics like form of the handles and the rim. They also does not have rows of circles on the sides. An identical example, made in blue glass, was formerly part of the Sheldon Breitbart Collection. It is striking identical with this example, except the way in which the handles are folded at the top. This blue one however is dated in the first century, so there is a friction in dating this type. Author of this book however prefers a dating in the third or fourth century AD, especially because of the thickness of the glass and the way in which the handles are formed. Mold-blown flasks with vague designs of concentric circles as on this example were first blown into a two-part patterned mold and after that inflated so the design could become barely visible.
Provenance: Private collection USA
Published: Arte Primitivo New York, auction 28 October 2009 lot 300
Reference: Glass from the Ancient World, the Ray Winfield Smith Collection, no. 253, H = 14.3 cm, The Breitbart Collection of Antiquities and Ancient Glass, Sotheby’s 20 June 1990, lot 85, Christie’s Antiquities, auction 8 April 1998 lot 15, Roman Glass in The Corning Museum of Glass – Vol. II, D.

Edward Hopper, Room in New York, 1932. Oil on canvas.
Edward Hopper observed the everyday lives of city dwellers in much of his work. In the important canvases painted between 1926 and 1932, he made use of single figures and couples to create a sense of thoughtful reticence and solitude. Eschewing the picturesque and the literal, Hopper’s pictures remain unexplained, without narrative, instead invoking a hermetically sealed world of emotion. In 1935 the artist remarked that the idea for "Room in New York" “was suggested by glimpses of lighted interiors seen as I walked along the city streets at night.”

Jeanne Reynal B.1903, WHITEPLAINS, NEW YORK D. 1983
Jeanne Reynal (1903-1983) is a significant figure of the New York School, a mosaicist who showed with Betty Parsons Gallery. Reynal was dedicated to challenging expectations of the medium by creating, as she described, “a new art of mosaic, a contemporary and fresh look for this ancient medium.” Her work was largely abstract.
Born in White Plains, NY, Reynal apprenticed from 1930-38 with Boris Anrep, a Russian mosaicist working in Paris. This established her interest in working with the medium. Reynal spent the World War II years living in San Francisco, and in Sierra Nevada. Her first solo exhibition was held in Los Angeles in 1940.
Reynal’s father died in 1939, allowing her resources with which to build an art collection. She acquired a 1941 Jackson Pollock painting from Peggy Guggenheim’s gallery -- one of the first ever sales of a Pollock. At this time, Reynal developed a relationship with the first director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: introducing her to the work of Pollock and other first-generation New York School artists, and helping to set the course of acquisitions and exhibitions at the museum. Reynal’s closest artist friend was Arshile Gorky, and his wife Agnes (known as Mougouch). Reynal would show her own work in the SFMoMA Annual exhibitions from 1940-46. During her West Coast years, Reynal also developed a friendship with Isamu Noguchi who had enrolled, voluntarily, in an internment camp to aid other Japanese-Americans. She would later collaborate with Noguchi on mosaics for tables of his design. Reynal was also associated with the Surrealists - many of whom were living in exile in the U.S. In 1945, Reynal took a six week visit to the Hopi, Zuni, and Navajo Indians with André and Elissa Breton as interpreter and guide.
Reynal moved to New York City in 1946. At that time, she further developed friendships with artists including Willem and Elaine de Kooning. In 1955, she married Thomas Sills, a largely self-taught African American painter. They traveled together across Russia, Turkey, Greece, and Italy in 1959 to further study the art of mosaic. In 1960, she was asked, by Elaine de Kooning, to take over the organization of a show of Abstract Expressionist women artists held in West Texas in 1960, at Dord Fitz Gallery. It was in this period that Reynal began exhibiting with Betty Parsons.
Reynal was the subject of a traveling solo exhibition, organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, in 1964. The same year, a monograph of her work, with essays by Elaine de Kooning, Dore Ashton, and Lawrence Campbell, was published. The solo show traveled to the Sheldon Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, a city where, the following year, Reynal would create mosaic murals for the State Capitol building.
Reynal traveled with her husband, Sills, throughout South and Central America: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru. She was influenced by indigenous art throughout her travels. In the early 1970s, Reynal began making totem sculptures utilizing mosaic tesserae and pieces of shell. These monumental works were exhibited at Betty Parsons and at the Art Association in Newport, Rhode Island. In the late 1970s, she made a series of portraits in mosaic (many of artist-friends), and depictions of animals.

Chapter 10 of Roneo and Kimliet
Chapter 10
(Feb 8, 2006, 7pm)
The Possibles, Ron, and Rufus had finished their meals at Bueno Nacho and were putting their trays up. Then, the familiar four-beep tone of the Kimmunicator sounded.
Beep-beep-be-beep
"I'll get that!"Kim said, instinctively, picked the device up.
"Hey, Wade! What's the sitch!"
"Hey, Kim! We got a hit on the site from the Louvre in Paris!" Wade explained on why he beeped in, "Several of the artworks from the museum have been stolen!"
"Whoa! France! I totally love their French toast, KP!" Ron exclaimed.
"I do not believe that is where that type of bread comes from, Ron." Kim muttered.
"Can you get me the deets on what was stolen so far?" Kim asked.
"Global Justice will fill you in. You should be accessing their Bueno Nacho pneumo tubes right about..." Wade replied before clear tubes suddenly appeared out of the ground, encapsulating Kim, Ron, and Rufus.
"...now."
James and Ann smiled at their daughter.
"You go get them, Kimberly!" James said, pumping his fist.
"Just simply knock on our bedroom door as you always do once you get back from your mission!" Ann replied.
"And Ronald, bring back some croissants for us!" James added.
"Sure can do, MrDrP!" Ron said before the tubes sucked them into the ground.
(7:10pm)
The tubes finally reached one of the many underground lairs of Global Justice. They opened up for both Kim and Ron. Kim stepped out of it easily but Ron tripped on his untied shoelaces and nearly fell face-first into the ground before stepping out normally.
"Whew! Avoided disaster there, KP!" he smiled.
"Ron, you are one of a kind!" Kim laughed before a familiar face approached the pair.
"Kim Possible and the former subject of the Ron Factor, Mr. Ron Stoppable!" Betty Director said before the two.
"Look at me, Kim! I'm getting recognition!" Ron beamed with pride.
"Ugh...don't remind me." Kim muttered from the time that she and Betty had to rescue Ron from the clutches of Sheldon Director, known as Gemini, and the Worldwide Evil Empire or WEE for short.
"I am glad that we contacted you two on such short notice." Betty said. "Follow me to the meeting room where I will brief you two on the art theft."
_
After a few minutes, the three of them reached the conference room.
"So what exactly was stolen, Dr. Director?" Kim asked.
Betty turned on the overhead projector, which was similar to the ones that Kim sometimes saw at Middleton High.
"According to reports from local police and INTERPOL, there were actually four things that was stolen on the night of February 5, at 2am local time, from the Louvre" Betty said as she activated a remote that showed a picture of the Lovure.
"The four things that were stolen were two statues and two paintings." she continued to explain as she showed a picture of the paintings and statues from the projector
"The Coronation of Napoleon , the Wedding of Cana, the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace were all stolen in a span of two hours." Betty told them. "The police do not know who was behind the thefts."
"What do we have to go by?" Kim then questioned.
"Security camera footage shows several males carefully taking the arts and wheeling them out of the museum." Betty said as the projector showed footage of several men taking the aforementioned arts.
"Something tells me that we may need that footage." Kim said. "Wade can try and piece something together."
"Be my guest!" Betty replied with a smile.
"Can you provide for us with a return tube to the surface?" Kim asked, "Me and Ron need to get back."
"Of course!" Betty replied.
The trio left the meeting room as they headed to the tubes to take Team Possible back to Middleton.
Once Kim and Ron popped back up a few blocks away from the Possible house, Ron then asked a question.
"So what is the whole thing with MrsDrP's side of the family?" Ron asked.
"Have you got all night, Ron?" Kim questioned. "It all started when I was six when Mom and Dad took me and Jim and Tim, then toddlers, to Mere and Pere Nomally..."
(8:40pm)
"...but then Cousin Issac's pet iguana swallowed up my gerbil..."
(Feb 9, 2006, 9am)
"...and not to mention that Ray almost threw pumpkin pie at me last Thanksgiving."
Kim finished up her tale of woe of dealing with cousing on her mom's side of the family to Ron as she closed her locker in the halls of Middleton High. She was wearing her white croptop, the baggy CB dark denim overalls with both straps hooked, and white sneakers.
They were transitioning from first period to second period.
"Wow...talk about issues with the extended fam on MrsDrP's side!" Ron exclaimed. "And I fought with Ray against that pie."
"Speaking of pi , I gotta jet to AP Calculus." Kim exclaimed, grabbing her backpack. "See ya in third period for English Literature, Ron!"
"Trust me, KP, I'll be there!" Ron exclaimed.
(10:55am)
"I hope you have completed your assignment of reading 'Jane Eyre' from pages 146 to 174!" Barkin exclaimed in English Literature class. Kim and Ron were sitting near the front of the classroom at their desks.
Then the oft-gruft substitute teacher added. "Because...we're taking a surprise pop quiz!"
Most of the class grumbled and Ron gave a loud groan. Kim, however, was unfazed by Barkin's announcement.
"KP? Why aren't you groaning with me?" Ron moaned.
"I actually read the assignment, Ron. You were playing on the Kimmunicator for five hours, trying to play checkers." Kim whispered to Ron.
One by one, Barkin put the quiz on the desks of the students and they began to take the quiz.
(12:47pm)
"Good thing we got that boring book out of the way!" Ron exclaimed as both he and Kim headed towards Drama class.
"Yeah...boring!" Rufus sqeaked in agreement.
"Ron, it's what we are assigned to do." Kim replied. "It's for our grade."
"Good point, KP, but what happens after we graduate?" Ron asked, "It goes in the memory hole where no one remembers it at all!"
"Let's just focus on the here and now." Kim said, "I got to handle the whole assistant director thing for the 'Glee Three'." She added the later part with disgust.
"Right, for Romeo and Juliet!" Ron reminded. "There is a store in downtown Middleton that specializes in tree cosumes."
"We'll go there sometime tomorrow." Kim said, "We have to get through the rest of the school week first."
