When I was little, my cousin gave me an art history book with Manet's The Railway on the cover. Today I saw the painting in real life.It was like seeing a rock star.
I took the Big One to the Nelson Atkins Museum where they currently are hosting Art in the Age of Steam. The exhibit also includes Magritte's Time Transfixed.
I feel somewhat negligent in my parenting skills, in that she was not familiar with either. But I did tell her to remember that she saw these works in real life, and how important they are.
