The exhibit A Song for the Horse Nation begins on 11/14/2009 and runs through 7/7/2011 at the George Gustav Heye Center located in New York. Some of the intriguing objects being shown are beaded bags, paintings, and hoof ornaments.
The exhibition makes use of various media like songs, photos, and audio-visual aids to enliven the presentation. It is the story of the American Indian and the horse brought to life through art.

Artists Quote Their Thoughts
What these artist have said gives one pause to think. Enjoy contemplating their words. Of course, these are quotes from some of the artist that I like.
1. "For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh."--Georges Rouault.
2. "Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye...it also includes the inner pictures of the soul."--Edvard Munch
3. "Great art picks up where natures ends."--Marc Chagall
4. "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."-- Edgar Degas
5. "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."--Thomas Merton
Though not a visual artist, Merton was a writer and a monk. His parents were visual artists. Besides, I like his quote.
