paintings, executed with layers ofplastic resin poured directly ontostretched canvas. While recalling thework of a preceding generation ofAmerican Color Field painters,Zimmermann's abstractions retain theimprint of technological manipulation,making it a product of its time. Theluminous surfaces evoke traditional

stained glass windows as well as themodern glow of television and com-puter monitors. Part electronic auto-mation and part artistic intuition,Zimmermann's paintings underscorethe influence of technology on our 21st-century world view.

Time Made Real: The Carvings ofTim LewisThrough February 22, 2009Best known folk art stone carversworking today, Lewis highly respectedfor his ability to coax powerful imagesout of a difficult, if not unyielding andunforgiving, organic material such assandstone. He was born in 1952 inIsonville, Kentucky, where he still re-sides. Following a truck accident in1988, he began carving in wood, beforechoosing stone as his principle me-dium. He has created images frombiblical themes such as Adam and Eveand guardian angels, to figures frompopular culture such as baseballcatchers or a burly bootlegger luggingMason jars full of moonshine.

Bath: Internet of the 1700s for artistsNowadays artists who want to get their name outto the public quickly often turn to the Internet. Butwhat did they do before modern technology? In1700s England, the ideal place for an unknownbut gifted artist to win fame and fortune was inthe town of Bath. Bath was especially favorableto portrait painters, because this popular winterresort attracted the wealthy who came to takethe waters. Artists went to Bath in hopes ofgetting commissions from titled aristocrats, whichwas an excellent way to gain instant fame.

Bath was not the best location

for a resort. The ancient city,founded by the Romans, wassquashed into the narrow valleyof the river Avon, and its climatewas damp and chilly. However,it boasted a group of hot springs(rare in England) that gave half amillion gallons a day of slightlysalty, supposedly healing water at a temperature of 120F, whichis just about as hot as mostpeople can stand to bathe in.

In the 1600s, Bath was

already a popular gatheringplace, with people coming todrink and bathe in the healingwaters, which were reputed tocure everything from leprosy toarthritis. Unfortunately, publichygiene at that time was notgood. One horrified gentlemanwrote, The Baths were like somany bear gardens, andmodesty was entirely shut out ofthem; people of both sexesbathing day and night naked;

and dogs, cats, pigs and evenhuman creatures were hurled intothe water while people werebathing in it.

By the late 1700s Bath hadbeen cleaned up and turned intoa sparkling, fun resort. It was atremendously fashionable placefor the wealthy to gather. Asusual during that century, people

followed a strict daily ritual. It

started at 6 a.m., when everyonewho was anyone rose andgathered at the hot baths (likeshallow swimming pools) wherethey soaked, packed likesardines, for a couple of hours.

While bathing in the hotsprings, women wore garmentsof canvaslike material that didntcling to the body when wet.Men bathed fully clothed andusually wore their three-corneredhats. The sexes were supposed

to bathe separately, but DanielDefoe described one of the mostfashionable baths thusly: Theplace being but narrow, theyconverse freelymake vows andsometimes love. Tobias Smolletttold of spectators in the galleriespleasing their roving fancies withbodies, faces, eyes, etc. In onecorner stood an old lecher noless than 3 score years and 10making love to a young lady notexceeding 14.

Following the ritual bath,everyone went to the PumpRoom. There they wereexpected to drink three glasses ofsupposedly health-giving mineralwater from the springs. Again,this was an excuse for socializingand heavy flirtation. Gossip atthe Pump Room was famous allover England for its scandal and

malice. Meanwhile, artists hthe opportunity, duringconversation, to solicit paintcommissions.

The next step was breakffollowed by holy services (oonly to people of quality) inBaths ancient and beautifulabbey. Everyone dressed invery latest fashion to attendchurch. During services, theelderly slept and younger peflirted. Following the servicpeople strolled around the tofor a few hours, visitingbookstores, going todressmakers, or browsing thluxury shops. Artists invitedpeople to their lodgings to setheir paintings.

An enormous midday dinwas eaten at 2 p.m., followedby tea in the Assembly Roomgossip in the pump Room. Otwo nights a week there werformal dances, where BeauNash, the social director of Bselected couples of the higherank to dance the first minuewhile the rest of the companwatched.

This may sound boring, bfor most people it was veryenjoyable because Beau Nasinsisted that all visitors, regaof rank, must mingle freely istreets and common rooms. titled people felt grand just fassociating with one anotherThe lower ranks, such asmerchants and artists, werehappy because for a little whthey could converse with gralords and ladies on an equallevel. If an artist could get one portrait commission fromaristocrat, his career wasassured.

In a way, Bath in the 17th and 18 th centuries was very lthe Internet; you could chat, people with like interests, ansell your products. And youcould also soak away your arthritis!
