It's the dawn of the new fiscal year (ok, so you're not interested in the ways of the federal government). But in this case it means I get to introduce you to a new addition to our Eye Level team, Howard Kaplan. Howard will be joining Kriston and the rest of us blogging all things American art.

Howard is the author of a recent book on singer Marian Anderson, published by the Library of Congress, as well as a book for young readers on President John F. Kennedy. In addition, he is the editor of Asiatica, the annual magazine of the Freer and Sackler galleries, the Smithsonian's museum of Asian art.

Welcome Howard!
