An exhibition of Otto Dix paintings in Montreal inspires comparisons between the condemnation of 'Degenerate Art' by Hitler and the attitude to art in the war-loving neo-con times in which we live.

Who's Degenerate now?
The Otto Dix exhibition at the Neue Galerie, New York, comes to Montreal's Museum of Fine Arts on September 24. Ça vaut la visite. Rouge Cabaret: Love, Death, the Terrifying and Beautiful World of Otto Dix is the first one-man exhibition of his work ever held in North America.
It comes at a time when many of us are fearful of the new autocracy found today in our home and native land, at a time when unreported crime is rampaging unchecked, while the military want more money and youth thrown into Afghanistan.

Monique Martin is known for her large scale paintings; however, this body of work is comprised of reductive technique linocuts. This exhibition explores the concept of "flow." She gained inspiration for the artwork from reading the book Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. For Monique, art is all about entering a state of flow, whether it is working with students at the Fine Arts School where she teaches or in her studio. The creative process is what her life is about. She creates with her students at work and creates in her studio at home.
