Adam Cvijanovic's mural of Osage Avenue in "Ideal City" at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts

We have seen every almost every show in New York of Adam Cvijanovic's work since Richard Anderson first showed him in the early 90s. I think he is a very smart artist and great painter, and, like so many artists we know, is a sweet person who has managed to not be chewed up by the Art World. He has a show at the Academy of Find Arts in Philadelphia titled "Ideal City."

Roberta Fallon, of artblog fame, has a great interview with him on Artnet.com.

His choice of thematic material for the show is interesting, playing off two aspects of Utopian thinking in Phildelphia history: the Quakers and MOVE.
