Finally, Michelangelo's David...
I took an art history class in the early 70's at Los Altos Community College near Palo Alto. I sat in the dark and absorbed slides; each class expanded who I was. The professor was a man of passion and travels. Each slide was gourmet. Today I savored the glory of the class at the Accademia Galleria.
Lightbulb moment. One of my roommates is from Japan. We walked together this morning before our different museum reservations. Without any suggestion from me, she offered that traveling alone gets lonely. Yes, lonely! Did I not say that and blame it on my older person status? Cosmic jokes are slapstick silly... We are all so much alike. We truly enjoyed one another's company and she asked what I was doing later. Love it!
And what did you think of David? Is he worth all the glorification? Was he what you expected?
ReplyDeleteHe stood outside hype and overdone status. Size was grandiose and there was perfection to form. Not light and airy like Bernini but sturdy and strong.
