I've grown to love modern art. Living in DC is nice because I have access to so many free art museums that rotate exhibits. I long ago abandoned the notion that art has to have certain qualities to be "good." Now, I look at art and I either have a reaction or I don't have a reaction. That's it. It's quite fun.
I was in Colombia last week for the first time and checked out the Botero museum. I always thought of his stuff as "funny fat people" and that was it. I was surprised how struck I was seeing some of his art. I didn't think I would take it all that seriously but I did.
