afternoon at the high

an excellent afternoon at the high --- robert and everybody else was all about the cezanne but, being the philistine that i am, i was a little underwhelmed (i've always thought architecture, landscapes and buildings, was the only thing that mattered anyway) --- however, i loved the little room of camille pissarro's work ---

three della robia panels from florence made me want to go there real bad --- maybe soon

and just in time for renaissance recorders

if i were going to have any of it in my unit, it would be this by jacques lipchitz, acrobat on horseback, in bronze, 1914 ---

dang

the gordon parks photography from alabama in the 1950s and 1960s was some great, if fairly depressing, stuff --- i remember the separate toilets and water fountains and all, although it's almost incredible today

but i simply can't understand why they would leave the left-over plywood tables and trash cans from last night's event out in the atrium for what they must have known would be a million people traipsing through the building today --- nobody cares about the details --- richard meier would be appalled
