Warming Up

Dr. Zhivago-esque or not, frozen windows are less charming in real life. I think we could all use a little warmth. Soon.

Even just warmer sights, like the pink, red and yellow-green strokes in Andrew Bucci's work, on view throughout January at Cole Pratt Gallery in New Orleans. This Saturday, the gallery is having a reception to celebrate the Southern modernist's work.

But if you're not weary of Zhivago imagery, don't forget all the embroidered textiles in Giacomo Campiotti's 21st century interpretation.
