Whom You Know Recommends the latest three Exhibits from the Metropolitan Museum of Art

This morning Peachy Deegan was lucky to have a chance to view the three latest exhibits at the Met, summarized earlier today on Whom You Know:

Pablo Bronstein's inventive history of the Metropolitan Musuem of Art is quite unique. Short and sweet, black and white, this exhibit will attract all that love love love the Met like Peachy Deegan does.

Luo Ping's exhibit was quite illustrious and will be a draw for those that love Asian art. We particularly liked the calligraphy components.

Whom You Know recommends each of these exhibits. Of these three exhibitions, however, of course we love the Iconic American paintings the most. Peachy Deegan does hold a B.A. in American History...so this comes as no surprise. It concentrates on American Stories between the American Revolution and World War I and much of the exhibit concentrates on the artist using firsthand observation. Homer and Bingham are shown in early paintings that show peril in water, westward expansion and artists at work.

In "Inventing American Stories" we loved Paul Revere holding a silver teacup by Copley....and in Stories for the Public "Politics in an Oyster House" 1848 by Woodville was entertaining!

"Stories of War and Reconciliation" showed a lovely childhood scene: "Story of Golden Locks" 1870 by Seymour Joseph Guy where the older sister tells dark stories just before bedtime to her small brothers bearing fearful looks....also Homer's Croquet Scene was lovely and it reminded us of Melissa and her OCD. (see Champagne Wishes)

"Cosmopolitan and Candid Stories" included our most favorite of the exhibition:

*Lady a the the Tea Table 1883-85 by Cassat
*An Interior in Venice 1899 and A Street in Venice 1880-82 by Sargent
*Idle Hours 1894 by William Merritt Chase, a beautiful beach scene
*The Lake for Miniature Yachts 1888 featuring the Conservatory Water at 5th and 73rd in Central Park of course
*Interior View of the Metropolitan Museum of Art When in 14th Street 1881 by Frank Walker, as the Met was at the Douglas Mansion from 1873-79
*The Card Trick 1880-89
*Chinese Restaurant 1909 by John Sloan; we particularly like the red feathers in the hat

A quote we loved:
"My God, I'd rather go to Europe than go to Heaven" -William Merritt Chase on 3/25/17

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
