The Art of Seeing
The next best thing to seeing art is watching people seeing art, which if documented will it become art? We'll be exploring those themes this week with a good dollop of humor. I hope the first sentence didn't turn your brain into scrambled eggs.
Photos this week are from the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Art in New York, or affectionately known as the Met. The New American wing is a jaw-droppingly stunning. After a few hours, I felt as faint as the nude in the painting below from a beauty overdose and had to lie down.
Have a beautiful photo quote de jour week!
But, where? There were benches but too many people and guards milling about. This bed looked inviting...
but I didn't want to end up napping in a jail cell. Surely the guards wouldn't notice a quick
snooze in this dimly lit reproduction of an 19th C. bedroom? Perhaps not. Feeling more and more like a fatigued Goldilocks, I kept looking...
and the moral of the story is: if you don't give up, you win. Off a tiny room overlooking Central Park, I found a deserted alcove with a bench. Lying down never felt better and the view wasn't bad either.
