Until June 1, Davis Museum at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, hosts Better on Paper, a new exhibition showcasing prints, drawings, photographs, books and other works of art on paper. The collection includes a number of newly acquired and previously unseen works.

“Better on Paper presents a stunning array of visionary works of art from Wellesley’s collections in this collaboration between the College Library’s Special Collections and the Davis,” said Amanda Gilvin, the exhibition’s co-curator and interim co-director; and Sonja Novak Koerner ’51, senior curator of Collections and associate director of Curatorial Affairs.

Primarily focused on contemporary works, Better on Paper includes more than 100 recent acquisitions and gifts. The exhibition celebrates Wellesley’s commitment to photography, and includes Ekundayo by Nigerian artist Taiye Idahor; Self Portrait, Harlem, NY by photographer Ming Smith; Architects of the Future, City Inside Her by Chitra Ganesh; and selections by locally based multimedia artist Jo Sandman. Among presented works by Special Collections are 18th-century publisher John Pike’s The Land of Matrimony [and] Land of Celibacy and It is Bitter to Leave Your Home: A True Story Depicted in Typographic Images, an artist book by Swiss graphic designer Romano Hänni.

“It is a tremendous opportunity for the College Library’s Special Collections to be off the shelves and on view to a wider audience,” said Ruth R. Rogers, curator of Special Collections and visiting lecturer, Art Department. “Better on Paper allows us to share a selection from the range of international, rare books, contemporary artists’ books, and other evidence of material communication that are the basis of teaching and research on campus.”

Davis Museum is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday–Sunday. There is no admittance charge.

Relax, Rejuvenate and Heal at StolenTime

At the namesake luxury, 5-star all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia, the concept of “stolen time” used to be reserved for couples escaping to canoodle, reconnect and perhaps rekindle in sumptuous accommodations during a romantic getaway on the lush Caribbean island. But when StolenTime by Rendezvous rebranded in late 2022 to welcome all adult guests and focus more on wellness, the philosophy expanded to encompass self-reflection, personal growth and enrichment. After all, time is our most precious commodity, one that’s finite and too quickly slips through our grasp; we need to find those moments that matter and make them count.

Hotel Nice Beau Rivage Review

In the city Henri Matisse once called home — and where Musée Matisse holds his largest collection — Hotel Beau Rivage has a special connection with the artist, who first visited the hotel in 1916 and painted famous sea views from his room 89 in 1917. Today, framed Matisse prints — many brightly colored cut-out collages from the artist’s JAZZ collection — decorate its walls. Hotel guests also benefit from a partnership with the museum.
