1. I finally made it to the Meadows’ Coming of Age exhibit, and it’s a stunner. It takes you from the Hudson River school through Abstract Expressionists, so be sure to hang out with all your favorite friends (Georgia O’Keeffe, Frank Stella, Fred Remington, Ed Hopper) before they leave Feb. 24.
2. Happy birthday, DMA. Stay up late Friday, Jan. 18, and participate in a Define-A-Thon, karaoke with the Phil Collins exhibit, admire the Domains of Wonder Indian paintings, and enjoy Stanley Marcus’ photos.
3. Across the street at the Nasher are more than 50 sculptures from the collection of the Lachaise Foundation, Woman: The Art of Gaston Lachaise. Lachaise’s beautiful works highlight his version of the idealized female form; good news: It won’t make you feel like you gained too much weight over the holidays.
