The kids from Washington Technical College did not find this tour very interesting.\u00a0 Not sure why, didn’t connect with them.\u00a0 A few, yes, but there were wanderers, heading off to other objects.\u00a0 The age range was wide, from 15 to 7 or 8.\u00a0 That was part of it.\u00a0 They perked up at the Han horse, the jade mountain (which I hadn’t planned to show them) and the Zhou and Shang bronze swords, spears.\u00a0 Finally, I went with the kid who said he wanted to see samurai stuff and ended the tour in Japan.\u00a0 Not a bad tour, not a great one.\u00a0 Although, one of the women, whom I recognized from last year, said, “You gave us a great tour last year!”\u00a0 Nice.<\/p>\n
Wandered over to the new MCAD show and spent fifteen minutes or so talking with Aldo Moroni<\/a>.\u00a0 He’s an interesting, affable guy.\u00a0 We have a shared interest in history and especially the classics.\u00a0 The work under way at MCAD is set in fantasy mountains high above the earth, modeled after Chinese landscape paintings in the MIA collection.\u00a0 I told him I’d just a tour of Chinese art so we talked a bit about Taoism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Waning Grandchildren Moon The kids from Washington Technical College did not find this tour very interesting.\u00a0 Not sure why, didn’t connect with them.\u00a0 A few, yes, but there were wanderers, heading off to other objects.\u00a0 The age range was wide, from 15 to 7 or 8.\u00a0 That was part of it.\u00a0 They perked up … Continue reading Conversations About Art<\/span>
