It would take some of the elitist atmosphere out of the visit. Fine art all across the cities of northern Italy is generally free, probably because much is still held in churches, themselves works of art. A lot to be said for living surrounded by the ageless heroic sculpture of the city squares and hidden plazas. Which of our administrations cut back funding for the NEA?

The threat to humanity in general continues. I recently learned that the Swiss glaciers had lost 30% of their volume in the past three decades. California had record snowfall, replenishing the snow pack, but the long drought ended and the undergrowth in the forests grew to unmanageable levels. When record hot weather returned to the western US uncontainable wild fires broke out. It won't be confined to the West this year either, no more than last summer. Climate change a hoax?
We are represented by 450 of the worst cultural and intellectual terrorists in our history as our elected Congress and Senate. They who are outshamed by an ignorant, spoiled little rich boy with so much inherited wealth he has been able to buy success in business. This is no statesman. The concept of too big to fail is coming back to bite us.

I enjoyed the sense of wonder and breath. My immediate thought when you were discussing space was in my work with visual art. I always emphasize how important the negative space is to my students when rendering an image. Most are fixed on just the content that makes up the positive space, but that unused space around the image is equally as significant and can completely change the game. A tweak here or there can give a piece a whole new meaning. It's great to see someone else out there who can also find the beauty in things that the majority pays no attention to and/or does not recognize. Always a pleasure reading your blog. 🙂
