i did want to note much much earlier that i love studying art and then going to art museums and "meeting" the artist through the piece. it saves you all the trouble of audio guides and you have a better idea of who the artist is, what he went through while making that piece of art and because you can put that all aside, you have time to absorb the piece in its entirety (save for time constraints) and gain new insights. every visit to an art museum means walking into a building and meeting new artists and new ideas or revisiting old friends i've heard about.

so, nygh aep girls... appreciate art history. and be there for the anniversary!!!
