Glimpses

Alma Thomas, Wind, Sunshine and Flowers, 1968

Footnote to Certain Glimpses

We remain interested in Alma Thomas, in part because of her particular genius, and in part because she's attached to the Broken Diamond's art scene in a durable way.

Documenting the Broken Diamond's Cultural Staying Power

We have spent the last 72 thinking over a wide range of things DC. This AM it's the Blackbyrds. Sunday it was Alma Thomas and other areas painters. We are left with the impression that there is not a written record and that there should be.
