Day 19, Museums
I hit the American Art Museum for about an hour on Saturday before my hair appointment. There's a different portrait of Rubens Peale on display there. It's only about six years after the one I adore so much, but he's definitely become a man (rather than a late teen) in that time. He really was quite handsome.
I also stopped in at the Hirshhorn and saw the exhibition Here and There by Peter Coffin. The spiral staircase and dog sculptures are both interesting and amusing, but the projections were fascinating to me. There's one of people climbing a mountain inside a profile portrait that struck me as the best visual metaphor for memory that I've seen. Another painting of a woman on a sofa and a man looking out the window had different things projected out the window.
I'm going to see it again before I have to return to work.
