THIS WEEK AT THE ART MUSEUM
A SUMMER MEMORY AT THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM OF ART
A beautiful woman delights the eye: a wise woman, the understanding; a pure one the soul.

Charles Courtney Curran, On the Heights, c. 1909, oil on canvas, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY
Unbelievably, the incomparable On the Heights by American painter Charles Courtney Curran (1861-1942) is currently not on view, at least according to the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s website. Originally from Ohio, Curran studied and worked in art capitals such as Paris and New York; he also regularly spent summers in Cragsmoor, an artist’s colony in the Hudson River Valley.
U.S. writer Minna Antrim (1861-1950) was best known for her quotes and children’s books.
