Fabbri on Mancini
This is the first exhibition in the United States devoted exclusively to an artist considered by many to be one of the most prominent Italian painters of the late nineteenth century.
And the Broad Street Review's Anne Fabbri has an equally interesting and intelligent review here.

Re-name?
As early readers know, this visual art blog started in October 2003 as "DC Art News." When I moved to the Philly area last year I re-named it "Mid Atlantic Art News."
A review of the site's stats reveals that I am now gathering regular readers from all over the nation and a significant number from overseas. Daily visits float between 1800 to 3000 a day - no idea why such wild stat swings.
And as I expand my own lifestyle to possibly include (in the future) some physical presence in the Southwest, I'm toying with the idea of one last name change for the blog.
The URL is dcartnews.blogspot.com - and so I'd like something to work with the "dc" part. So far I've come up with:
- Don Campello's Art News
- Da Campello Art News
- Drawing Campello Art News
- Direct Campello Art News
See my drift? Anyway, I need some ideas along this vein or some other catchy, creative name. Email me your ideas here.
Wanna go to an opening in DC Saturday?
Brooklyn photographer Lori Nix "creates meticulous dioramas handcrafted from plaster, cardboard, and styrofoam and detailed with found objects, such as, fur, plants, and cat whiskers. These scale models, which take upwards of 4 months to produce, are carefully photographed using an 8x10" large format camera. Eventually the models are broken apart and stuffed into garbage bags to be hauled away."
Her exhibition at the Randall Scott Gallery in DC opens this coming Saturday, Oct. 27 with a reception from 7-9PM. The show goes through Dec. 8, 2007.

Medal of Honor
A day of silence here in honor of Lt Michael Murphy, US Navy, who was awarded (posthumously) the Medal of Honor today for his extraordinary valor in Afghanistan.
Fair winds and following seas mate.

Blog B'day
October 16, 2003 was my first ever blog post as I began to learn the nuances of Blogger.com and began to gather readers for this effort.
The blog's anniversary passed and I forgot all about it until someone emailed me today to wish me a blogaversary - it's been four fruitful years and well over a million readers!
Loads more to come in the next forty years!
Two Princes
Two influential art critics review Richard Prince's retro at the Guggenheim and, as if often happens, come away with wildly different opinions.
Read the WaPo's Blake Gopnik here.
Read the New Yorker's Peter Schjeldahl here.
Guess Who?
Just back from the weekend fair and not only did I sell around 40 drawings, but also was awarded a nice four-figure Helen G. Gifford Foundation Best of Show award.
More later; I haven't checked email in three days and Hotmail seems to be having log-in issues this morning!
