Weekend Picks: A Monsoon of Fun!

It's sunny here—so much that us SFR yahoos really get into the spirit of clouds. In fact, if anything, it energizes us. Y'know, because we hate going outside if it's hot. There's also something about science and negative and positive ions in there, probably, but we just know there's a whole mess of things to do on the weekend, and these are some of those things.

Kline discusses his book Leonardo's Holy Child: A Connoisseur's Search for Lost Art in America. Kline purchased an unassuming little sketch from a Christie's catalog a decade ago, and his instincts about the work were correct: It was actually Leonardo da Vinci's model drawing for the Infant Jesus and the Infant St. John. Kline's book is about the research of the piece, as well as how works are attributed to the old masters.

A long-standing Santa Fe tradition since 1919. The Fiesta Melodrama is written in the style of those from the wild west, but with a twist, lampooning local news and politics.
