Ray and I were lucky to have an adventure back on June 18th. I chose to take a vacation day and, fortunately, the Amon Carter Museum chose to have a members only welcome back opening. I was initially concerned but it was "everyone wear a mask" and obviously "don't touch art or anything". The electronic doors opened up and we walked into to greet old and new friends - i.e. favorite art work, plus new exhibits. And there was NO ONE there. It was like a private museum tour.
So, we enjoyed Eliot Porter photographs in a special exhibit. He worked for over fifty years and went to great lengths to share a bird"s eye view of the world. Lovely
The Perilous Adventures of Mark Dion proved interesting. Here he traced multiple Texas trails to gather flora, fauna, and take photos. He basically retraced historic trails and brought to life the worlds artists and scientists, journalists, and explorers introduced us to and were able to educate the masses
James Spurls - Seven and Seven Flowers - nifty sculpture on display
And an assortment of European artists who fled and worked in America were featured in an exhibit.
All together, Ray and I enjoyed our hour or so of strolling the Amon Carter. It's a delightful museum in the arts district and I hope it can stay open safely. Wear the mask, stay social distance, and for heaven's sake - Don't Touch!
