We went to American University’s Katzen Museum to see the one woman show featuring the art of our old friend, Lilian Klein Abensohn. After a career as a biblical scholar and university teacher, Lilian decided to become an artist. And she succeeded, as you can see.

Covid kept us from the opening of the show several weeks ago, and we didn’t go until yesterday. We were impressed as I knew we would be, and you should see it if you are here in town. It only runs to this coming Sunday. The museum is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

Lilian’s paintings in this exhibit are all still lifes. And, as you will tell as you read the explanations posted at the exhibit, each of these paintings has a biblical base, and each a clever erotic sense.

While you are at the Katzen, also look at the photographic exhibit, Lost Europe, a large exhibit of black and white photos of Ukraine, taken by three photographers over a number of years. This exhibit will be there until mid-December.

Before our museum trip, it was Simchat Torah services at Adas Israel, and after the museum, we were glued to our TV and our smart phones and the tragedy unfolding in Israel.

(By the way, I figured out how to illustrate my blog. Only took me 11 months.)
