The museum
September, 2007
Today Mom and I went to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. It was a soothing experience, and a pleasant distraction from all the chaos. I particularly liked the modern works. I saw a Kooning, a Picasso, a Warhol, and many others. I enjoyed the photography exhibit as well, it really inspired me to take a photography class at the university.
There was an ancient Greek sculpture of a lion that was hundreds of years old. I’m not sure I’ve ever been in the presence of something that old, with that much history. The sculptor had to guess what a lion actually looks like, because he had never seen one, so it was a close, but not exact, depiction.
I wish I had some artistic talent, but the only things I can draw are stick figures. Oh, well.
