As I'd mentioned in a blog posting last month, I finally got back to NOMA to finish seeing Hard Truths: The Art of Thornton Dial. Afterward, there was a showing of the documentary Mr. Dial Has Something to Say (short blurb here, five minute trailer here). It was a lot to take in, largely because Mr. Dial does in fact have a lot to say.
Other info: Wiki entry (note: inaccuracies reported, see comments), and an article at Whitehot.
Good stuff. It's at NOMA 'till late May. See it if you can.
Well that was the main reason for last Friday's trip to NOMA, but Self-Taught Artists from NOMA's Permanent Collection runs through early June. Seeing that again will be the focus of the next trip.
So much to see and do, it's great.
