This New England

Brandeis University's Rose Art Museum may soon be closed because of the university's money woes (some caused by Bernard Madoff). But it's still open, with three fine shows that began Jan. 15. Folks might want to see the museum's superb collection (mostly modern art) while they still easily can.

A Saul Fletcher untitled C-type print from the "Saints and Sinners'' show, presenting ''a light-hearted look at a fundamental division in modern and contemporary art between the spiritual and the material, the eternal and the everyday, abstraction and the natural world.''

Hans Hofmann, an oil on panel, titled ''Chimbote Moasic Cross,'' from the "Hans Hofmann: Circa 1950'' show.

Francesca DiMattio, oil on campus titled "Dead Dog,'' from the "Master of Reality'' show, featuring the work of five New York-based artists who "represent a culturally mixed approach to what curator Joe Wardwell calls 'artificial realism.'''

Maybe the Rose Art Museum could raise some money by having starving artists in New England paint portraits of Bernie Madoff. Then having the works of art hung at Brandeis.

They could promote the show this way:

Show a photo of Madoff under which these words appear in bold type:

THIS GUY SHOULD BE HUNG!

And will be at the Rose Art Museum ( Dates )
