Touring Met

Here we go again, JJ's LJ marathon night. "Today" I toured the Metropolitan Museum of Art with Michael Kimmelman, chief art critic of the New York Times. Overall it was a well-planned event except for the fact that only a small amount of people showed up. Chelsea, Pamela, and I are the only ones from this year's scholars. Whee, that shocked me by surprise. We paid a close look at a dozen of modern artworks to which I did not pay any attention at all when I previously visited the Met. Michael Kimmelman is such a knowledgeable and eloquent man-I'm pretty sure he has read countless volumes of books and examined millions paintings/drawings in order to become who he is today. It's so fulfilling to have your perspectives opened up to a completely different realm of things and to learn how to appreciate them, which might seem exotic and eccentrinc to you at first.
