Art matters

There are several interesing exhibitions being around.


Picasso: The final years' at BMA (Baltimore museum of Art)
January 11 - April 16, 2006
It is advertised to show the artist's intensity and growth even as he reached his mortal end. I never get into Picasso's world, but I
am pretty much intrigued why such a man can consistently have the passion and energy no matter of his age. As one commented, "eroticism, energy, passion, imagination, and all the things that we think wane to nothingness as you get old. his vitality seems age-defying..."


Ansel Adams: Celebration of Genius (Michener Art museum)
February 18 through May 14, 2006
Adams is no doubt a hero for many American in art world. He has unusual eyes, but more important he has a big heart. His landscape photographs have some mystical power, energy, and overwhelming beauty. the strong shadows and grand landscape create stunning effects that can hold our breath and beat our hearts. When I look fixedly at his works, i almost feel I stand there along with him, with the same veneration and adoration.
