Signs of Life: Symbols in the American City
The best museum exhibit I ever saw was “Signs of Life: Symbols in the American City” at the Renwick in Washington in 1976.
It was created by architects Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates, Inc. Their description, with many photos, is here.
The exhibit had lots of neon and furniture and architecture labeled with their historical influences.
I learned about several outstanding artists from this exhibit.
John Baeder paints realistic pictures of diners.
Photographer Stephen Shore was the subject of a recent exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. He was commissioned to take photos for the 1976 exhibit.
The New York Times review is here.
“Invention and Tradition” – an essay by Denise Scott Brown, one of the exhibit’s creators.

New polls on Trump
He’s higher in Gallup and lower in CNN.
From this article on CNN: “The President’s approval has ticked slightly downward, to 39%, compared with 41% in May and 42% in March. His lowest rating in CNN polls was the 35% he reached in December 2017. The number of those who approve of his job performance strongly (28%) remains the same as in the poll in March. ”

Trump charity charged with ‘illegal conduct’
This breaking story states: “The New York attorney general on Thursday filed suit against President Trump and his three eldest children alleging “persistently illegal conduct” at the president’s personal charity, saying Trump repeatedly misused the nonprofit — to pay off his businesses’ creditors, to decorate one of his golf clubs and to stage a multimillion dollar giveaway at his 2016 campaign events.”
The alleged violations aren’t really news. The Washington Post has been reporting for years about shady actions by the charity such as buying pictures of Trump.

Trump called “fake news’ the enemy
This is similar to Nixon and to Trump’s own comments last year when he said the press was the enemy of the people. This is how dictators act.
Sad!
