On October 24th I attended the Autumn Festival at The New York Buddhist Church with my fellow classmate, Bianca Rodriguez, located at 331-332 Riverside Drive, New York, New York. The New York Buddhist Church practices the Pure Land and Zen perspective of Buddhism.

One of the best parts of working on exhibitions drawn from the ZMA’s extensive permanent collection is the opportunity it provides for a look at some of the hidden gems at the museum. During the preparation of Sketching American Modernism, I discovered a painting that captured my interest. The work was the Portrait of Mrs. Helen McCoy Storer, c. 1910 by Charles Alden Gray (1857-1933). While arguably not by one of the most well-known artists in our collection, it was, at that moment, the most…
