Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Visit to the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)

Today I visited the Museum of Modern Art for the first time in many years. Its collection includes over 200,000 works of modern and contemporary art over 6 floors. The exhibits that I saw today included:

Tarsila do Amaral: Inventing Modern Art in Brazil

The Photography of Stephen Shore from the 1960s until today

Thinking Machines: Art and Design in the Computer Age, 1959–1989

Club 57: Film, Performance, and Art in the East Village, 1978–1983

The highlight of the day was seeing Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
