Twilight concert at Rudd Pond

The band Roger and Lenny was accompanied by musicians Mark Yard and John Lynch at the next-to-last summer concert at Rudd Pond in Millerton on Friday, July 23. Local musician Roger Cohn is on the right with his musical partner Lenny Sutton on the left; in the back row to the left is Lynch while Yard is to the right. The performance drew a crowd of Tri-state music-lovers eager for a relaxing evening among the trees and later, the stars, with great tunes to accompany them. There’s only one concert remaining in the NorthEast-Millerton Library’s summer music series, set for Saturday, Aug. 13, at 6 p.m. with The Mia Brazilian Jazz Ensemble. The library has asked concert-goers to note the earlier start time, as visitors arriving before 6 p.m. will be charged a parking fee.

Penguin Random House

‘Picasso’s War” by Foreign Affairs senior editor Hugh Eakin, who has written about the art world for publications like The New York Review of Books, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and The New York Times, is not about Pablo Picasso’s time in Nazi-occupied Paris and being harassed by the Gestapo, nor about his 1937 oil painting “Guernica,” in response to the aerial bombing of civilians in the Basque town during the Spanish Civil War.

Instead, the Penguin Random House book’s subtitle makes a clearer statement of intent: “How Modern Art Came To America.” This war was not between military forces but a cultural war combating America’s distaste for the emerging modernism that had flourished in Europe in the early decades of the 20th century.
