The Kreeger Museum in Washington, DC is a private, non-profit art museum located in the former residence of David and Carmen Kreeger. Designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson, it showcases the Kreegers' permanent collection of 19th and 20th century paintings and sculptures. Highlights of the collection include works by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Auguste Renoir, Paul Cezanne, Auguste Rodin and Joan Miro as well as examples of traditional African and Asian Art. Through 224 pages and 401 color images, the first Kreeger Museum Catalogue takes the reader on a visual voyage through the remarkable permanent collection which David and Carmen Kreeger acquired from 1952 to 1988. The Preface written by Trustees Carol Kreeger Ingall and Peter L. Kreeger, the daughter and son of David and Carmen, is a particularly touching, first-hand view of the beginnings of the collection to the workings of the Museum at present. The Kreeger Museum's Head of Education, Erich Keel gives an institutional perspective through his portrait of David Lloyd Kreeger as collector. Finally, Benjamin Forgey, author and former architectural critic for the Washington Post, contributes an enthusiastic and insightful essay on Philip Johnson's building. The color plates are divided into five chapters: Landscape, Still Life Painting, The Figure, Art of the Sacred, and Abstraction. Each section features an interpretive essay by one of the three highly accomplished art historians: Jonathan P. Binstock, curator, author, and senior vice president of Citigroup's Art Advisory Group; Laura Coyle, founder of Curator-at-Large; and Ori Z. Soltes, Goldman Professorial Lecturer in Theology and Fine Arts, Georgetown University.

These wise, humorous, and poignant stories explore the parallel paths of two families, one white and one African American, as they confront profound historical developments of the twentieth century. The book opens with the Great Depression and its tragic impact on Willie, a black oysterman, and then moves back and forth in time to encompass the Galveston hurricane of 1900, New Orleans corruption in the 1930s, wartime Vietnam, and the Fourth of July millennium celebration on Galveston beach. These climactic events challenge and illuminate the lives of Sagstetter's buoyant and resourceful characters, including Laurena, a young jeweler in Oaxaca; Anna, a devoted chef in Galveston; Eva, a World War II ham radio operator; Speaker of the House Scott Preston, adrift in a dark gallery of Asian statues; Louis, a shoe salesman obsessed with gemstones; and Charlotte, an African American linguist. Largely set in the maverick culture of a Texas leavened by the fascinating influence of Asia, and written in lyrical prose, these stories stand alone, but together they consider the transformative power of beauty, human purpose embodied in work, and intercultural relationships that once embraced abide through the century.
