Isn't Color Field great?<br /><br />http://americanart.si.edu/search/search_artworks1.cfm?StartRow=6&ConID=1641&format=long&db=onlyart&LastName=&FirstName=&Title=&Accession=&KeywordEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14039209474604646375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896889914871322938.post-40551337138221616192007-01-22T23:22:00.000+00:002007-01-22T23:22:00.000+00:00I assume you want something with which to edify yo...I assume you want something with which to edify yourself, so this will be of no use, since you are undoubtedly infused with this art continually, but I went to the church's museum of art (I've lived in Utah how long and I just found out the church has a museum of art?). And there was the exhibit on the pioneers and what-not. I went through that rather quickly and walked through another area where they had tons of Minerva's paintings. It was marvelous. And it always makes me so happy when I walk through the JSB and see her work. (And obviously, it makes me think of you, Al.)<br /> <br />Also, at the LDS Film Festival, there was a short film based on a poem: Altars of Light by Pierre Joris. Read it, definitely.<br /><br />I really want to see The Queen! It won some Golden Globes. I'm glad you liked it-- now I have a firm recommendation.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141270011785790129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896889914871322938.post-69028011293627942962007-01-22T20:02:00.000+00:002007-01-22T20:02:00.000+00:00The Queen, with Helen Mirren, is brilliant!The Queen, with Helen Mirren, is brilliant!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279782495599765678noreply@blogger.com
