Georgia O'Keeffe and Henry Moore, Plus Others, at the Albuquerque Museum

The Albuquerque Museum has an exhibit on Georgia O'Keeffe and Henry Moore, two exact modernist contemporaries, an American painter and a British sculptor. One excellent exhibit!:

Wilson Hurley, "Late Afternoon at La Cueva" (1983).  Really nice closeup view of the Sandia Mountains.

Bruce McMaster, "Anti-war Protesters March West on Central Avenue in Downtown Albuquerque" (1970).  I remember these demonstrations!

Oy!  This is Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Spiro Agnew raising the arm of Republican New Mexican Governor David Cargo in a gesture of victory in the fall of 1968.  For a Republican, Cargo was pretty interesting.  He wasn't governor very long; just two years (1967-1969).  He was the Governor in charge of the official response to Reies Lopez Tijerina's Rio Arriba Courthouse Raid in 1967.  Cargo was enthusiastic about bringing Hollywood folks to New Mexico. I remember Cargo making a guest appearance on the sitcom "The Governor and J.J." The audience erupted in applause, even though I bet hardly anyone in the audience had any idea who he was.  It was surreal and disorienting.

Here are the remaining statues of Spanish settlers after the statue of Juan de Onate was removed from grounds of the Albuquerque Museum, following the demonstrations, the violence, and the shooting (plus the new shooting in Espanola). Poor settlers.  No more leader.
