Winter 2008

     I'm back! It has been a long time since my last entry and I'll try not to let that happen again. I have exciting news. The children's book about our little dog Tiffany is finally finished and back from the publisher. I am pleased with the final result and hope that I can convince some of my readers and friends to buy it. I have embedded a copy of a bookmark which displays the cover and gives a brief synopsis of Tiffany's autobiography. The book is available at the following location:

Soft cover format at $15.99 per copy.

     I am currently a docent at the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. I am excited about an upcoming show featuring the art of Martin Puryear. The show was previously in New York at their Modern Art Museum. One of the featured pieces is a wooden ladder which is a tribute to Booker T. Washington. This piece is owned by The Modern in Fort Worth and is one of the most popular pieces in the museum. The dates for the exhibit are February 24 - May 18, 2008. If you visit Fort Worth, The Modern Art Museum which is the oldest museum in Texas should be on your agenda. Just viewing the building which was designed by renown architect Tadao Ando, is a treat in itself. If anyone decides to go, let me know and I will be delighted to arrange a private tour of the museum.



THOUGHTS FOR THE QUARTER
THE OBJECT OF ART IS TO GIVE LIFE A SHAPE.
     - Jean Anouilh (1910-87) French Dramatist

IT WOULD FOLLOW THAT 'SIGNIFICANT FORM' WAS FORM BEHIND WHICH WE CATCH A SENSE OF ULTIMATE REALITY.
     - Clive Bell (1881-1964) British Art Critic

ART IS NOT A SPECIAL SAUCE APPLIED TO ORDINARY COOKING; IT IS THE COOKING ITSELF IF IT IS GOOD.
     - W.R. Lethaby (1857-1931) British Architect


Take care until next time,
Robert J. Turner, III, M.D., F.A.C.S.
