Craig needed an ATM on the way to the car wash, so we stopped at the midcentury modern classic BoA in downtown Palm Springs.
PS takes its midcentury heritage very seriously (Modernism Week each year brings 100,000 visitors.)
The 1959 Bank of America building has undergone a total renovation, and looks fabulous.

"Guitar on a Table," Juan Gris, 1915.
I've talked about Juan Gris, my favorite Cubist, before, so I won't go into his story again. But I love his clean lines and his ability to be Cubist while still making his objects discernable.
Here he's got a guitar (a frequent motif in his work) against sheet music on a tabletop...but the guitar has only five strings, and the music is missing a line from the staff. He's letting us know what they are without being a slave to naturalism, which I respect.
Gris was a champion of "Crystal Cubism" and did many paintings I admire...and I usually don't like Cubism! There's just something about his firm vision and ability to render an object while still toying with perspective that I really like.
From the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, The Netherlands.

"Guitar in Front of the Sea," Juan Gris, 1925.
As I've said before, I don't care much for Cubism, except for Juan Gris' style.
Spaniard Gris (1887-1927) started off as an illustrator and cartoonist, but moved to Paris and plunged himself into the avant-garde art world. He became a passionate Cubist, and in my view the best, as he practiced "Crystal Cubism" where he broke down things to their component shapes, but kept them still recognizable. His remarkably clean lines appeal to me.
The guitar here is two intersecting triangles with a rectangle thrust in it...the newspaper is two trapezoids together...the sea is some white lines on blue with a plain white triangle indicating a sailboat. We also have sheet music, a pear, and what may be the Ace of Diamonds....and while they're all distinctly Cubist, you still easily recognize them.
Poor health meant he died young and never moved to another style. As some critics have said, he's the purest Cubist of the lot.
From the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid.

Wonderful to see that a Standard Ebooks edition of Mary Butts’ brilliant but somewhat neglected modernist novel Armed With Madness has been released today.

...Milton Babbitt's notorious 1958 High Fidelity article "Who Cares if You Listen?"
https://artasillumination.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/who-cares-if-you-listen.pdf
There Babbitt likens his academic work in music to the scientific research taking place in other departments of the university:
>> The time has passed when the normally well-educated man without
special preparation could understand the most advanced work in, for example, mathematics,
philosophy, and physics. Advanced music, to the extent that it reflects the knowledge and originality of the informed composer, scarcely can be expected to appear more intelligible than these arts and sciences to the person whose musical education usually has been even less
extensive than his background in other fields. <<Babbitt later protested that the editors had affixed the title of article without his knowledge, still less consent. Yet regardless of Babbitt's protest, the reader now can recognize that those editors had understood Babbitt's main idea - perhaps better than the author had himself!
Possibly, though, the audience's "problem" with modern music precedes the moralism or scientism of the post WWII avant-garde.
In his article...

The Inter-University Seminar House in Hachioji, Tokyo, by Takamasa Yoshizaka, was completed in 1965. This iconic complex merges modernist principles with traditional Japanese aesthetics, creating a space that fosters academic exchange and collaboration.

Long but very interesting and about the most correct understanding of Babbitt’s idea’s and 12-tone theory I’ve seen (he misses on what Babbitt meant by all music having mathematical underpinnings, but it’s not that important) https://youtu.be/c9WvSCrOLY4 #MiltonBabbitt #classicalmusic #serialism #modernism
