I remember going to the bookstore in a local strip mall on Tuesdays to check out the new Ballantine Adult Fantasy and Ace Science Fiction Specials releases. A mini-Golden Age of our own.

Los Angeles International Film Expo (Filmex), 1974, late night second showing of Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers (because the world premiere earlier that evening sold out). The festival theme was swashbucklers and the audience was all fanatics. The ride across the sunset got its own ovation.

We have Broom Jumpers, by Bisa Butler, temporarily installed in our teaching gallery and it. is. a. JOY. Bisa Butler, Broom Jumpers, 2019, Mount Holyoke College Art Museum

Detail of entwined hands: his, left, wearing a wedding ring; hers, right, lovingly grasping his little finger. The hands and figures’ clothing are depicted using layered, brightly colored, beautifully patterned fabrics.
Detail the two side-by-side figures, depicted using layered, brightly colored, beautifully patterned fabrics.
Detail of the woman’s left hand, wearing a wedding ring and holding a handbag, depicted using layered, brightly colored, beautifully patterned fabrics against a vibrant pink and orange-red background fabric.
The whole work, depicting a man and woman holding hands. The figures are depicted using layered, brightly colored, beautifully patterned fabrics against a pink and orange-red patterned background. The colors and joy expressed through them reflect the joyful subject matter: a vibrant reimagining of a photograph of 1930s Black Americans commemorating the event of their marriage with a photograph.
