The Reverend’s Rhuby
On a recent trip to Philadelphia (the greatest American city), I made a stop into the amazing store/gallery Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction on N 3rd street in Old City. They were showing a series of incredible watercolor paintings by the local artist, Reverend Michael Alan…They reminded me of the amazing Frakturs by the Pennsylvania Dutch in the Winthertur Museum’s collection I had just seen the day before. I love the poetic rendering of neo-classical Americana. These paintings really capture the chic American aesthetic of Philadelphia.
Today, two arrived from Philly to Paris. Merci Rev Michael!

The note is as beautiful as the paintings themselves!
