The pieces by Pablo Picasso and David Hockney may get top billing, but I was impressed again and again by the exhibition’s breadth.
Three ink drawings by filmmaker, writer and artist Jean Cocteau were done for a 1952 production of Igor Stravinsky’s opera-oratorio “Oedipus Rex.” With quick gestures and brutal specificity, Cocteau depicts the blinding of Oedipus and the hanging of Jocasta.
A seductive, stylized piece by Russian artist Leon Bakst captures Vaslav Nijinsky as a Chinese dancer in a 1917 production of “Les Orientales.”
The show also includes a dark silk robe with metallic embroidery and metal studs created by Henri Matisse for a 1920 production of Stravinsky’s ballet “The Song of the Nightingale.”
Award winning musician Micah Bonn is back in the Savannah area and playing at The Draft Room At Berwick on Friday from 7-10 p.m.
Bonn sings, plays the banjo, guitar, mandolin and especially loves the fiddle. She s won several awards including National Songwriting winner in 2017 and Female Artist of the Year for the 2019 Georgia Country Awards. Bonn also plays with the Pine Box Dwellers band.
As a self-described chanteuse (French word for a female singer), Bonn said she enjoys entertaining audiences at smaller venues because of the energy and feeling.
Bonn moved to Nashville prior to the pandemic, but decided to move back home early last year to be near family. She has made the best of the time back by playing local gigs, performing live music with a band in a play, and teaching. She s also started back to college with the intent of getting into the medical field.
