A monkey mountain kronikle

Duane Reed Gallery in St. Louis is hosting a return exhibition of American printmaker Tom Huck, known for his large-scale satirical woodcuts. Huck, who works from his studio Evil Prints in Park Hills, Missouri, draws inspiration from Northern Renaissance masters like Albrecht Dürer, as well as José Guadalupe Posada, Honoré Daumier, and William Hogarth. His intricate carving and cross-hatching technique creates works that blend festive celebration with social criticism, which he describes as "rural satire" based on life in small-town southeast Missouri.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art's new exhibition, "Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments," celebrates the 50th anniversary of the film *Rocky* and highlights Philadelphia's boxing history, including figures like Joe Frazier and Bernard Hopkins. However, the author, a street reporter who wrote a book about people running the museum steps, argues the exhibit missed a key opportunity by focusing on the Rocky statue and monuments rather than centering on the film's transformative power and the iconic steps-running ritual that has drawn visitors for decades.
