Yesterday we were "Raggin' On" at the Columbus Museum of Art with The Art of Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson's House and Journals. The exhibition feels like a religious revival via color and texture, just like the life of this MacArthur "Genius" grantee. Mom Britton is fascinated with the larger than life hands -- "They are sacred poses," she told us. Mom acquired her first piece in 1981, and in 2004, became Robinson's "RagGonNon" docent at Cincinnati's Freedom Center. A day with mom's favorite artist makes Aminah our collector's tip of the week.
