A site for art that’s inspiring, thought-provoking, skillfully executed, and/or breathtakingly beautiful
What I do and why I do it
I constantly seek out art that’s inspiring, thought-provoking, skillfully executed, and/or beautiful so I can share it (in jargon-free language) with others who need and enjoy such art, but who don’t have time to search for it themselves. As an independent scholar, writer, and lecturer, I focus on art history and history, with forays into food, history, politics, and publishing.
For my publications, see Amazon and the Books and Essays page of this site. (The material from ForgottenDelights.com has been shifted to this site.) I also offer private tours of New York City art.

What shall we talk about?
Here are the sort of questions that fascinate me:
- How do you go from a gut reaction to thinking about art – and why would you bother?
- Why is abstract art a waste of canvas, marble, bronze, neon tubing, chickenwire …?
- What’s the best way to introduce children to art?
Come on a tour and ask all the questions you like!
