Some make demands on government, politicians, policies, or institutions while others make demands on society and individuals to join them in the ght for justice; still others focus on cultural development as a process that cultivates democracy and unity. ey all combine the making of art with public service that has a grassroots approach in the hope of mobilizing their communities and the nation to ignite movement, create awareness, and inspire others to stand with them.

“Eye & Mind: The Shin Collection”
It is astounding to think that a private collection of masterworks as wide-ranging and important as these could be assembled by a 32-year-old connoisseur, but Hong Gyu Shin is an internationally recognized gure in the global art world. He shares his treasures with us, including works by Whistler, Lautrec, Boucher, Daumier, Delacroix, Balthus, de
Kooning, Matta, Pollock, Gorky and many other important names from art history provocatively juxtaposed with the painting and sculpture of our own time from both Asia and the West. On view now through July 9 at Nassau County Museum of Art, located at 1 Museum Drive in Roslyn Harbor. Visit www.nassaumuseum. org or call 516-609-9696 for details.
