Check the revelatory new show at Pierre Menard Gallery. Mounted in conjunction
with a new book of the same name by Donald Friedman, the show features visual
art in a variety of media by more than 120 different writers, from D.H. Lawrence
to Patti Smith, from Clifford Odets's 1947 watercolor "Expressionist Landscape"
(above) to Henry Miller's 1970 watercolor "Pax" (right). Just shows you how fertile
imaginations are a fount of many creative streams. Daily: 12-8 p.m. Free. Pierre
