The works will be on view until 29 June, with plans to take the centerpiece sculpture on tour later.

Glad it is not permanent. Art died with the Impressionists.

Ugh! Goals number 22 and 23 of the “45 Goals” well-represented here.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

Some impressionists are still alive.

Current Communist Goals:

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

Their plan never changes. Never.
