Diaries
The Santa Monica Museum of Art, will exhibit diaries by Beatrice Wood. She kept daily journals for 85 years. The museum's director Elsa Longhauser said: The entries are “enigmatic.” "But I think they will be revealing, going beyond the myth of Beatrice Wood to show the real artist and thinker.” The Dada expert, Francis Naumann, brought the museum’s attention to the journals. He is preparing a corresponding publication. (It will be part of the “Pacific Standard Time” exhibitions opening in the fall of 2011 at small galleries to museums in Southern California, about different aspects of California art history from World War II to 1980, organized by the Getty.)

Famous quotes containing the word diaries:
“Tomorrow in the offices the year on the stamps will be altered;
Tomorrow new diaries consulted, new calendars stand;
With such small adjustments life will again move forward
Implicating us all; and the voice of the living be heard:
“It is to us that you should turn your straying attention;
Us who need you, and are affected by your fortune;
Us you should love and to whom you should give your word.””
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
