Best Bets
Oh. boy. have we got a weekend for you! In
Houston, of course, pre- and post-game partying
will be the big attraction. Ail those Houston night
club owners are anxiously awaiting the arrival of
the Ags, the fake IDs and the money. You can’t let
them down.
On your way back to the twin cities, stop off at
the Texas Renaissance Festival for some high-spir
ited (but high-priced) merrymaking.
If you’re stuck in College Station, well... we’re
sorry.
But it’s not all that bad. You can make the best
of it by doing your laundry and catching up on
your studying.
Or, better yet, take in some live music at one of
these local dubs.
It sure beats laundry.

French portrait exhibit
to premier in Houston
What can you do in
Houston this weekend to
counteract the ill effects
your cultured, sophisti
cated self will suffer after
being a part of a writhing,
ill-mannered, Saturday af
ternoon college football
crowd ?
An opera might work,
but you’ll have heard all
of the screaming you’ll
ever want to during the
game.
A ballet would usually
do the trick, but chances
are that you’ll have seen
an Aggie “pas de deux”
or two in the endzone by
the time the game ends.
And you’ll be too deaf
from the crowd noise to
appreciate a good sym
phony.
Well, sports fans, the
rea/cultured thing to do in
Houston this Sunday af
ternoon will be to catch
the premier viewing of the
Museum of Fine Arts’ ex
hibition “A Magic Mirror:
The Portrait in France
1700-1900.” It’s guar
anteed to be a no-hustle,
no-strain-on-your-senses
kind of affair.
Now you’re talking,
Bubba.
Somewhere else in this
issue you’ll be tempted to
redeem yourself for your
pagan football ways with
a stop at the Texas Re
naissance Festival. Nice
try, but it won’t do.
The Renaissance Festi
val is right down there just
above a football game on
the all-time culture list.
No, I’m afraid it’s got to
be the museum.
The museum has struc
tured Sunday afternoons
perfectly for recuperating
college football fans.
It opens its doors on
Sunday from 12:15 to 6
p.m. and is located at
1001 Bissonnet, near
Hermann Park and across
from the Warwick Hotel.
Admission is $2 for
those 19 and older, $1 for
senior citizens and stu
dents with ID and every
body else gets in free
(much cheaper than a
football game).
“A Magic Mirror: The
Portrait in France 1700-
1900” will feature 50
paintings and sculptures
from American and Euro
pean, public and private
collections.
The exhibition will be
in the Lower Jones and
Masterson Galleries from
this Sunday through Jan.
25.
The selected artworks
will demonstrate the
French preoccupation
with the individual, which
was the dominant
thought-shaping concept
of the two centuries.
From the early 18th-
century style of Louis XIV
portraiture to the realism
and impressionism of the
late 19th century, the de
velopment of the individ
ual is depicted in grand
portrait style and in
images of daily life.
Now, if that sounds like
a mouthful, it’s because it
is. Just be sure to pick up
the illustrated catalog and
follow along as you
browse through the exhi
bition.
For those of you who
end up really getting into
this showing, you can
travel back to Houston on
Thursday nights for the
lectures.
There’s “The Lan
guage of Likeness: Physi
ognomic Studies and
Conventions of Portraitu
re” coming up on Nov. 6
and “Traditions of Euro
pean Portraiture” on Nov.
13.
All lectures begin at 7
p.m. For a complete list of
lecture topics and more
information, give the mu
seum a call at (713) 526-
1361.
