I went last week and loved the show. It didn't hurt that Central Park was buzzing with blossoms and bicycles as well.
I loved especially how the paintings that I have worked with for years at Oberlin now take on new meanings when they are in a new context.
Oberlin's museum has its own blogsite, so I wrote a piece for that -- this click should take you there. Here I am in front of one of my favorites:

Nick, Is there a contest to guess which of the three paintings is your favorite? ;)

Sorry, Nick--Maybe it's this glass of wine, but I really needed more information to follow when something is at the Met vs. when it's at Oberlin. Even the picture of you in front of 3 pictures--I don't know whether that's at the Met or Allen! Maybe a clarifying footnote?
Sorry to have been unclear. The landscape with the moon is the one I meant as my favorite; the pic is at the Met! I wrote a more extended blog for the Allen's website and linked to it at the end of this blog, which is why it's not self-explanatory. Convoluted enough?
Looks like a beautiful painting!
