Friday's parting shot

Tomorrow (Saturday!) is the last day for "Shooting from the Heart," a selection of work from June Leaf (1929–2024) at the Gray Art Museum, 18 Cooper Square across from Fifth Street. 

Per the program: 
Armed with indefatigable energy, an inventive mind, and a wry, closely observing eye, Leaf nimbly navigated the planes of the real and the imagined, holding a mirror up to essential truths while reminding us of our shared humanity. 
She had a studio at 7 Bleecker St. (where she lived with her husband Robert Frank) ... and she spent some of her time in a remote fishing village in Nova Scotia. 

The gallery is open tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's well worth the visit.

    Brilliant artist. June was a national treasure. She would have hated that I said that.
