I've seen this painting a couple of times a week for the past few years, since I live within walking distance of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, where it's held. It's super tiny in person, but it's very cool to see it. “Fort Worth” probably doesn't conjure to mind a very lively art scene, but in the museum district here we have the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum, the Kimbell Art Museum, and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, all within walking distance of each other. Each one is worth a visit. | ||

Ft Worth hits above it's weight WRT high art. The Kimbell, the Modern, the Amon Carter... all world class. (And if you're an architecture nut, the main Kimbell building was designed by Louis I. Kahn and is a delight to wander around in.) The local symphony is better than you would expect, given the city's size. I have too many memories of dead friends and family to want to live in Fort Worth, but if you get a job offer in Tarrant County, it's not just pickup-trucks, guns and C&W clones trying to be extras on Landman. (And pickup-trucks and C&W clones aren't as bad as you might think. And I lived there for decades and was, surprisingly, shot when visiting a different city.) | ||
