The final creation is like that of a multicellular organismeach microscopic part completely different in form and function, but working seamlessly to contribute to the whole. This exhibition of small scale compositions serves as a microcosm of Hashimotos intricate universe. Through their size, the viewer is invited to interact more personally with his art.

Flashback On a day like today, Italian painter Annibale Carracci was born November 03, 1560. Annibale Carracci (November 3, 1560 - July 15, 1609) was an Italian Baroque painter. In this image: Eugenio Riccomini, curator of the exhibition of Italian painter Annibale Carracci, stands next to the painting "I macellai" (The butchers) during the exhibit opening in Bologna, Italy, Thursday Sept. 21, 2006. Carracci, who lived from 1560 to 1609 was underpaid in his lifetime and undervalued for centuries after his death and at last is having a renaissance in his native Bologna. Carracci's mastery ranged from sympathetic and realistic portraits of common folk like butchers, to magnificent frescoes adorning palatial residences in Rome.
